Landscape designers are becoming more aware and responding by adding more pollinating plants to designs. How to integrate more pollinating plants into a mature garden is a bigger challenge.

7 Simple Ways To Attract Birds To Your Yard

My son Erik is always looking for ways to attract more birds to our shared yard (he and my daughter-in-law Kaitlyn live in our basement apartment), which is great because I get to reap the benefits!

Birds like to bathe regularly, so adding a bird bath or other source of clean water is a great way to draw more birds to your yard. Consider adding a bird bath to your yard with water that’s 1 to 3 inches deep, or if you’re looking to add more of a water feature, you could even build a small pond.
Be sure to have some sort of water pump to keep the water circulating, as birds listen for moving water and it helps deter mosquitos and wasps from the area. These solar-powered pumps are the perfect way to add bubbling water without having to buy an entire bird bath set.

Why Experts Say You Should Grow More Trees in Your Yard

After all, urban forests—the ecosystems that make up our communities, including the trees planted on our residential properties, in parks, and along streets—are vital to our health and the health of the environment.
