And what is a garden without birds, butterflies and wildlife?

If you want your yard to be a safe haven for wildlife: birds, butterflies, squirrels and beneficial insects, you must not use pesticides in your yard! If you attract wildlife to your yard, you must be responsible enough to keep their environment free of pesticides.

Houseplants

If you don't have flower beds or even an outdoor area to garden, you can garden inside your home. Houseplants bring a homey, fresh feeling to any area and provide lots of oxygen as well as cleaning impurities out of the air. Start with some small, easy plants, learn about that plant's particular needs and you are on your way.

Container Gardens

Container Gardening can produce beautiful and rewarding results. In many ways, growing flowering plants and even vegetables in containers is easier than flower and vegetable beds. Adorn your front porch or deck with a variety of plants in different types and sizes of containers for a beautiful look.
