GARDEN
WILDLIFE

A wildlife-friendly garden can do more than add beauty to the landscape—it can provide food and habitat for birds, support bees and other pollinators, and help reduce damage from browsing deer. Thoughtful plant selection allows gardeners to create spaces that are both ecologically beneficial and enjoyable to spend time in, with flowers, berries, seeds, and shelter that attract a wide variety of wildlife throughout the year. Whether your goal is to watch hummingbirds visit nectar-rich blooms, attract songbirds with berries and seed heads, support pollinators during the growing season, or choose plants that deer are less likely to browse, the right combination of shrubs, perennials, and groundcovers can help create a healthier and more wildlife-friendly garden.
