I’m fascinated by the wildlife that visits our yard. Currently, we’ve a trio of monarch caterpillars munching on our milkweed—soon to join the one already transforming inside its chrysalis. So exciting to share with my kids and their neighbor friends. Nature up close! I wrote a short piece about wildlife gardening with kids a few years back. See http://www.nwf.org/nationalwildlife/article.cfm?issueID=107&articleId=1354. Thanks, Nancy, for welcoming Jodi! “This morning I lost track of time while standing in my garden and watching seven fuzzy bumblebees …” You sound like a kindred spirit, Jodi.

Yes, a garden with wildlife will draw kids, and adults, outside. I garden for food and wildlife. Shelter is so important, and often overlooked. This year I have a grape vine which has grown massively and has created a wonderful hide-away. There is always a bird or a rabbit under the grape vine every time I go outside. As long as the rabbits keep out of my veggies I'm happy :-) I second Jodi’s approval of the National Wildlife Federation.

It's good for all of us to spend some time in nature, but it seems especially important for kids. Thanks for the good ideas to bring more wildlife to our gardens!
