Spicy's Wildlife garden

Created on Friday, 27 Jun 08

I’ve just gotten started on this. I cleared out a small spot of land by my in-laws’ pool. There is a tiny pond that needs redone. The space was overgrown by vinca and ferns, and I have spent a long time clearing it out.

I’ve been inspired by the book “A Blessing of Toads” by Sharon Lovejoy. I hope to plant several plants to attract lots of frogs, toads, butterflies, birds, bees and other beneficial insects, etc.
