Urban Wildscaping for the Fun of It!

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
As my family and friends know, my heart does cartwheels in habitat rich with native wildlife. I don't know whether I enjoy the plants or the critters more -- they both fascinate me. And I'm not a top-of-the-mountains kind of gal -- I'm fascinated by urban nature -- from mosses to mature trees -- from squirrels to slugs. We have so much to learn from the nature at our fingertips.

One reason I find plants among my favorites is that they hold still :-) -- my eyesight has never been topnotch and I find examining a leaf or a bud or how roots grow is like slow cooking -- rich in detail with a tapestry of colors, shapes and systems. And that's not to put down a natural affinity with animals and insects -- they're just harder to observe.

In our times of shrinking habitat, you can wildscape your balcony, your yard, your campus with native habitat (plants, water, and places for wildlife productivity -- nesting and community time) to be a good host to your natural, native allies.

And it's so much fun!
