In my previous blog post we looked at how to convert a lawn into an eco-friendly landscape by replacing it with a wildflower meadow consisting of indigenous plant species that will provide a refuge for wildlife.

You could also create a backyard wildlife habitat by planting garden beds with indigenous plant species that provide food, refuge, and breeding habitat for a range of birds, butterflies and other animals. This can be done to compliment your wildflower meadow, or to compensate for any lawn that you wish to keep.
