Our gardens are often places of retreat for us, where we can restore ourselves through play and relaxation. A garden can be place of retreat for other animals as well, where they can find food or take shelter, especially if we take care to provide these. Creating a garden that attracts and supports wildlife involves planning on many levels. A garden with diverse plantings, with areas of shelter where birds feel safe, that have shallow water for bathing, where plants are blooming throughout the season offering a steady supply of pollen and nectar; these are just some of the ways in which we can attract wildlife to our gardens. Terrasana Gardens will design a garden with plant selections that will draw in the birds, insects, or other wildlife that you’d most like to see in your garden.
