I rewild a portion of my yard to support wildlife in the suburbs of Houston. Managing my emotions regarding, “what the neighbors” think is more difficult than the physical labor to change the landscape. Please read Doug Tallamy’s book “Nature’s Best Hope”, it will change the way you look at turf grass and all the plants you have in your yard. You may be surprised how “ungreen” your yard is, but there are numerous simple actions you can take which will support more robust wildlife in your area. I plan to provide updates to the garden: Episode 2 will include an update on the garden and the installation of the drip irrigation. Episode 3 will be an update on the garden, an inventory of the plants included in the garden and pictures of the creatures which call the garden home.
