Enhance the natural ecosystem of your garden by creating a natural habitat for birds, bees and butterflies says Harpreet Ahluwalia

Tips to enhance the natural ecosystem of your garden

Gardens are not only about flowers, grass, shrubs and trees. The chirping birds, the buzzing bees and colourful butterflies, flying from one flower to another add a charm to your garden. If you want to invite these tiny creatures to your garden, then grow plants, which are bird and butterfly-friendly. Use less pesticides and go organic. Planting more native varieties of plants than hybrid ones also works. Another way to bring these winged creatures closer is by adding a cute little bird house in your outdoor area. A bird house also adds to the aesthetic appeal of your garden, but while purchasing one, it is crucial to consider many factors since it will shelter your feathered friends.
