    Interesting video, thanks for sharing. I have some host trees, and natives. I suppose I am doing ok with the small mixture I have.

    Thank you @Lillium_Lover I'm glad that you found it interesting and it can give you some ideas how to attract wildlife. I've only got a smallish garden but it's still helpful.

    My garden/yard is smallish as well, especially compared to some of the posting I have seen on here. I do enjoy it here though. There is a nursery near us, that only sells native plants, which is helpful.

    That's great, I'm not sure what our nurseries sell haven't been for a long time. But can get seed of native wildflowers.

    I am still learning about seeds, and how to actually harvest seeds from the flowers. I have planted a lot of seeds near the creek, and every year, it seems that something new grows. They get washed away, the critters eat them, and Im probably not planting correctly.:cool:

    @Lillium_Lover here's a video on how to save seeds, I'd sow them just under the surface.
