This is where critters become an integral part of your garden as you plant flowers for hummingbirds, bees & butterflies, learn to harvest seeds, put in a pond for fish and to encourage habitat for toads and frogs…who knows where this will lead! From local organizations & businesses that help people learn how to raise bees, to those who give us what we need to keep water features healthy in our landscape, these businesses will guide you to create and maintain a full-featured landscape.
