Habitat

We improve the habitat by adding water sources like bird baths or small ponds, creating nesting sites that are safe from predators, and growing food plants for wildlife that supply nectar, pollen and fruits. We avoid chemical pesticides and herbicides, and make sure our gardens don’t spread weeds into local ecosystems. In return habitat gardens bring joy and remind us of our place in nature. There are practical benefits, too: Blue-tongue lizards feast on snails, wattle birds vacuum up caterpillars and microbats eat hundreds of mosquitoes a night!
