Plants With A Purpose: Habitat Gardening With High Country Gardens
Whether you'd like to encourage more hummingbirds, songbirds, or other wildlife to call your yard home, you've come to the right place. To create habitat in your yard, grow a diversity of plants, including trees and shrubs, ornamental grasses, and perennials. This encourages a more diverse population of beneficial insects, which in turn supports songbirds and other wildlife. Birds and insects rely on both native and introduced plants for food and refuge, but their habitats have been lost due to development across the country. Include as many native species as possible - these resilient plants have established relationships with pollinators and wildlife to help support a healthy ecosystem.
