Creating a Wildlife-Friendly Garden

Avoiding chemical pesticides and herbicides is crucial, as these substances can harm the very creatures the garden is designed to support. Instead, natural pest control methods or simply allowing predators such as birds and beneficial insects to maintain balance works best.

Using native plants is especially effective because they are adapted to local conditions and provide the correct food and shelter for native wildlife. Such gardens require less maintenance, conserve water, and create a thriving ecosystem that benefits both people and animals.
