Do you practice wildlife gardening?

Aldo Decurtis: Planting trees is the most apparent means of creating habitats for mammals and birds; by planting native tree species this will provide food all year round for insects and birds. The tree will offer shelter depending on its size all types of creatures will benefit, and quite often create their home beneath or within the tree.

Flor Lizardi: Generally people don't want to attract wildlife because it will trample and/or eat the garden.One exception is catnip, it will attract cats which are very light on their feet so they don't trample much and have no interest in eating plants except for catnip. Added bonus is the cats chase off rats, squirrels, rabbits, and other critters that might eat your garden.On the other hand if you wanted to attract something else you pick the animal you are seeking, assuming there are some around in the area too, like say deer, you investigate what they like to eat then plant something like oak trees which they'll eat acorns ! from once they fall off the tree... and trample your lawn destroying the grass around the tree too....Show more

Betsey Muehlbach: Yes, although it is purely inadvertently. The wildlife around my small garden just can't seem to resist attacking my produce. They get as much as I do most years.Good luck and enjoy!

Blaine Connett: no

Ronny Nowzari: This question made me laugh. It had to have been written by someone who only ever lived in a city.No, I do not do anything in my garden to attract wildlife. In fact, I take measures to repel wildlife from my garden, as do most people who live in the country and in some suburbs, because if wildlife get into a garden they will destroy at least part of it at some point. The only wildlife I would want to attract in my garden is bees. Birds are welcome except if you grow berries or some tree fruits which they can decimate so you end up with no crop for yourself. Other than those, I have no wish to attract deer, rabbits o! r raccoons or bears....Show more
