Gardening Tip:
ATTRACTING BIRDS, BEES & BUTTERFLIES
When you plan a garden, you probably choose flowers based on color, fragrance, or other features that appeal to our human senses. But humans aren’t the only ones who appreciate a garden. This year, create a little more excitement in your yard by planting flowers that appeal not just to you, but to a variety of flower-loving birds and insects. By expanding the natural habitats of these creatures, you may help encourage a threatened species. In return, these friendly visitors will help pollinate your garden and control garden pests. Of course, you’ll also have the enjoyment of watching these delightful creatures flitting through your lovely flowers!

Opponents of organic farming argue that organic farming is less profitable, requiring more labor and management skill than a conventional farm. Savings on pesticides, fertilizers, and fuels, however, usually offset the cost of the extra labor. And the environmental benefits of organic farming represent long-term savings, not just for the organic farmer, but also for future generations
