Wild Herb Garden a.k.a. Backyard Habitat

Creating a wild herb garden or backyard habitat can be extremely fun and very rewarding. However, it does require learning what plants grow naturally in your area, what wildlife is likely to visit and what their needs are.  As this section of the website grows I'll be talking about composting, caring for your garden and the wildlife, how to transplant plants from the wild and making it a friendly place for people too.  However, before I go too much further I want to share one of the best sites for creating your wild herb garden - The National Wildlife Federation.  This site shares even more information on how to do this and gives you a way to certify your wildlife habitat.

I think one of the best parts of building this kind of herb garden are the surprises that come to your backyard habitat.  Imagine waking on a cool April morning and seeing these flowers totally covering your grass area.

Or having huge mushrooms popping up all over.

Or being visited by dragonflies.  It's all possible when you open your yard to nature.

The National Wildlife Federation - This site teaches you all about building a backyard habitat and gives you the opportunity to certify your creation.

Hydroponics At Home - You will need to think beyond standard gardening to create your wild herb garden.  Including hydroponics can vastly widen your ability to bring nature in.  This is the best site I've found for teaching you how to it - on an individual level - yard by yard.
