If you don't already garden for wildlife, I encourage you to visit the National Wildlife Federation site at www.nwf.org/gardenforwildlife for tips on Gardening for Wildlife ...

if this hummingbird at a Manzanita doesn't inspire you ... what would?!

Mark and I are both volunteers for NWF, within their Backyard Wildlife Habitat program -- which encompasses both private backyards (residential) and school & other public places habitats as well. It's a remarkable program, and gardening for wildlife has never been easier - the advent of all the Native Plant Nurseries -- nationwide -- has made it all so much more possible to DO THE RIGHT THING. Make appropriate-for-your-community plant choices, and the native wildlife will be fed, nurtured, protected, and right at home ... in YOUR yard. How cool is that?
