The mild breezes of spring remind us that its time to start cultivating our garden plans. By starting now, you can devote more time to the development of refined and detailed garden blueprints and avoid the mad rush in the summer.
Start by spending time gazing out at your garden. How does it look?
Picture the garden through the eyes of a bird. Is there any shelter available to protect them from cold winter winds or predators? How about food and water? Do any of the existing shrubs or trees still hold seed or berries? The answers to these questions will help you put together a garden plan.
Examine what the garden currently holds and consider how it meets the needs of wildlife. All wildlife species require food, water, shelter, and space. Be sure to consider these factors when deciding what you will be adding to your garden. A good plan, devised while you have some time for serious consideration, will allow you to create a garden that is beautiful, less work, and attractive to colourful creatures which add a dynamic enchantment to your finished haven.
