What do you plant in your yard to attract the various critters that live in your area?


Thumb of 2011-07-31/Sossman/529cf7

We live in one of the newer developments in Florida and we have a very small yard. Luckily our yard is on a conservation lot, which means we have a small retention pond in our backyard as well as a nice wooded area. We get deer, otters, raccoons, armadillos, oppossums, squirrels and bobcats visiting our yard as well as a huge variety of birds, butterflies and other wild things. Last year I had our yard certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Wildlife Habitat. We try to make sure that we have plants to attract almost all and provide fresh water for everyone. The sign pictured has a coral honeysuckle climbing up and around it, which the hummingbirds really like.
