A drawing & a photo. The B&W drawing on the left is of a sign that says "Wildlife is Welcome to this native Florida yard! There is a drawing of a butterfly in a circle at the top middle of the sign and a leaf after the first line of text. Both in front of and behind the sign are native plants including palm trees, palmettos, bunching grasses, coonties, & more. The photo on the right is of a Red Shouldered Hawk perched on a corner of a garage with green roof, a white gutter & downspout. Sunlit trees are in the background.

#NewYear2026 I urge you to be more active in #EcosystemGardening in your yard & your community (including shared community property, school yards, church yards, municipal properties & more) in the new year. Enjoy!

Photo of a sign infront of a wooded area. The sign is made up of 5 green boards screwed to a stake. Text in a curly font say,"If something is not eating your plants, then your garden is not part of the ecosystem.

#EcosystemGardening is a break from the human-centric, formal gardens where plants are used as decoration. So build native habitat in your yard, even if it's small, because every yard makes a difference to a butterfly or a bird. Play it forward, so your whole neighborhood can become habitat.

#Happy2025! Invite birds to your yard by switching to #EcosystemGardening:
- use no landscape-wide pesticides,
- planting a wide variety of native plants in naturalistic groupings,
- leave wilder spaces with stick piles, snags and stumps.
