Habitat Hero

My meadow has been recognized as a Habitat Hero garden. Everyone should Be a Habitat Hero.
"it offers an example of restoring habitat crucial to the survival of songbirds and pollinators and meets most or all of these five criteria:
  • provides layers, shelter and nesting opportunities,
  • offers natural food sources (emphasizing native and regionally adapted plants),
  • provides fresh water for drinking and bathing,
  • is water-wise and energy-efficient,
  • relies on no or minimal pesticide use, including control of invasive species. "
