There is nothing better than sitting in your garden on a Sunday morning – sun shining, coffee in hand and the birds singing you a cheery song. If you listen a little closer, you may also hear them chirp a little thank you. They will be especially thankful if you have taken the time to create a thoughtful garden that benefits you, the environment, and the fauna around you.
If you love sharing your garden with birds, bees, and butterflies you may need to put a little more thought and planning to attract all of these fine guests. There are certain requirements that will provide yearlong food and shelter for them.

We can try and deny it but the truth of the matter is, we are living in an age that is continuously "plugged in" - cell phones on every hip, Internet at the ready, and tablets for every member of the family. This is becoming the norm. We spend hours upon hours at a desk staring at a computer screen, only to come home and "unwind" in front of the computer. This is leading to the inevitable attention and health fatigue. But don't worry, there is a cure and it as close as your own yard. Studies have shown a correlation between increased green space and decreased anxiety, mood and health disorders. Perhaps your next prescription should include a shovel and a watering can!
