Gardeners can play an important role in creating environments that offer shelter, natural food and water sources, nesting sites, and a place to raise their young.

Also worth noting...the house on that land is not a McMansion sucking up energy for mostly unoccupied rooms, but fits into the landscape rather than dominating it.

Good point. 👍

I just wish you were still on PBS. Your show is so visual watching on a laptop just isnt the same

[@ggwtv]

Thanks and I can appreciate that. For those who have a smart TV, all the shows can be viewed on their TV in the same quality from the TH-cam site.

STOP MOWING?!?!? I've been there for over 25 years! I am going to feel right at home in this garden! 🥰

[@ggwtv]

Right on! 👍

I started buying glysophate and pesticide free birdseed after discovering it's in there but I am slowly (but surely) planting more trees, shrubs (thorny too), hedgerows perennials and groundcovers. Made my list and now putting it together! 😊

Fantastic actions you’re taking! Everything we can do matters! 👍

@@ggwtv Thank You!
I hope so as I am kind of a loner over here!

[@AgrotisInHeart]

I love your ways and style, from message up to editing. I wonder if it's ok do the same with our mother tongue but focus on Earth's stewardship 😊

[@ggwtv]

Thanks for the kind words.

Love the Merlin app, learned it from you. Is Yard map gone?

[@ggwtv]

Good question. I never hear about it and actually forgot about it until reading it here. I’ll need to check but I suspect they discontinued it.
