landscaping front yard as wildlife habitat

	This wildlife habitat garden was planned with a "sculpted" look - the plants in the front are low growing and clumped, the plants in the back are tall and stately.

A close up view of native plants taken in the early fall, 2005, when the garden was a year old. The tallest plant is downy sunflower.

The colorful bird house adds a touch of whimsy to the garden, while providing important shelter for habitat residents.
