The Birds and the Bees of Natural Landscaping

Natural landscaping is beneficial in many ways, such as being good for the environment and providing tranquility. However, it is also beneficial to wildlife such as various types of birds, bees, and also butterflies. Butterflies love natural landscaping and feel right at home.

Natural Landscaping and Habitat

Natural landscaping provides a welcoming habitat for animals and insects that are natural natives of their region. Often times with construction sites and new developers building homes at a rapid speed, many animals lose their homes with no place to go. We are all too familiar with many species of animals that are becoming extinct.

The beauty of natural landscaping is that it provides benefits to native animals in more than one way. Natural habitats and native landscaping provide natural surroundings for its furry friends and buzzing insects, but also provide a comfortable zone safely tucked away from the hustle and bustle of society.

Insects that are native to these areas will attract birds who need to make those insects part of their ecosystem. In order for songbirds to survive, they must eat these insects, thereby keeping a very important ecosystem alive and well. These birds will also contribute to the spreading of plant seeds in order to keep the ecosystem flourishing.

Butterflies will also be inclined to return to these areas of natural landscaping to do their part in helping the ecosystem there thrive and grow.

Doing Your Part

You may not realize it, but planting a natural landscape garden with native plants can assist the bird, bees, and butterflies in their journey to survive and thrive. All species of animals and insects have the potential to be in danger. You can play an important role in conserving wildlife in its natural environment by planting a natural landscape garden in your backyard.

If you have small children, they will be delighted by how many butterflies come to visit your backyard when the time is right. Taking photos of such an event is a delight.

Birds, bees, insects, and butterflies are all necessary components of the ecosystem. With so much new construction in the past and businesses popping up everywhere and without us to help them along these days, you never know - many of these critters may become extinct one day.
