YARDEN SIGHTINGS

In our tiny yarden... we are amazed at what we can see.

Our tiny yarden (meaning our whole yard has been turned into garden) is only 60 ft by 140 ft (and that includes the house and two sheds). It's less than 1/8th of an acre, but we can spend hours appreciating the beauty of the plants, observing the wildlife, and enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by an abundance of life, even though it's a tiny space surrounded by neighboring lawns. Below are some of the amazing things we've seen.  ( we have  BEES, bugs birds frogs

Hopefully it will inspire you to change your lawn into gardens that nurture wildlife.
