Description
The placement of plants, water, boulders, bioswales, fences and other garden amenities should emphasize habitat diversity. Wildlife gardens should be filled with a variety of spaces. Tall trees, dense shrubs, open ground with decomposed granite, bird baths and fountains all contribute to the success of seasonal and resident wildlife species.
