My goal was to expand the beds W to E on N & S edges of our yard and break the look of the typical Florida development homes. I planted majority (90%) native trees and plants for SE FL to provide food, water and shelter/nesting for birds. Within hours, a diversity of birds visited the yard and now have a safe place to feed, drink, bathe and even nest (a few weeks later). I participated in a local Audubon chapter program for native backyard landscaping. A wonderful experience.
