@2003MugishaPhocit@mastodon.social Hi. I've planted a few native trees (redbud, blackgum, river birch), and other than that have some berry bushes, a small flowerbed and vegetable garden. For the flowerbed, I'm focused more on wildlife than showy flowers, so I spread a seed mix each year. This year I did the 'pollinators' mix from Botanical Interests. https://www.botanicalinterests.com/products/precious-pollinators-flower-mix-seeds?srsltid=AfmBOopuWkRqaeDW-4rlWYIt77b5dyqiy8U1lLhMKp5jnVxcxsHx5jmO I get a good mix of insects, birds, and anoles from these mixes, and many flowers will come back next year (from seeds or roots), giving some flowers by April. I've also used the Hummingbird and Butterfly mixes from Botanical Interests. In the future, I may put more effort into finding seed mixes that are better suited for local wildlife, maybe through resources like the Xerces society. https://xerces.org/ cheers!
