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.
