Companion planting » To practice companion planting is to create harmony in the garden. Plants which complement each other are placed together, while those that disagree are kept apart. | |

Container planting » If you don't have access to garden space, but would still like to attract some wildlife to your doorstep, you can create your own green space. Your balcony or patio can be converted to a wildlife-friendly "garden" paradise through the use of container plants. | |

Edges » An edge is the border between two types of habitat, for example, between a forest and a field. Urban areas have lots of edges along property lines, streams and rivers, road sides, and parks. These can be very beneficial to wildlife if managed properly. | |

Wildflower meadow » Besides offering a wonderful fragrance and breathtaking sight, a native wildflower meadow is also a magnet for wildlife. It provides nectar, food, and cover for birds, insects, reptiles, amphibians, and a host of small mammals. | |
