Notes from a wildlife-friendly cottage garden
Will Vinyl Predators Keep Birds Safe
Our back porch has nice, big windows. Nice big windows that invite birds to fly up and go THUNK right into them. This makes me worry about keeping my status as Friend of Birds. What if inspectors from the Audubon Society show up and start asking questions?

Rockford’s Anderson Japanese Garden
I’ve already written a few posts about how back in August, Beth of PlantPostings initiated a meet up of Midwest garden bloggers in Rockford, Illinois. Bloggers from three states spent the day visiting the Klehm Arboretum, the Nicholson Coservatory, and having a relaxing and convivial lunch in downtown Rockford.
The last visit of the day was to the Anderson Japanese Gardens.

Minimalist Lawn Care
When it comes to our beds and borders, I am a helicopter gardener – constantly hovering, intervening, helping (or interfering, depending on your point of view) and worrying.
On the other hand, about 99% of the time I ignore the lawn. Because let’s face it, lawns are boring.

A Wildlife-Friendly Garden in Toronto
So here’s another garden we got to see during the Garden Bloggers Fling in Toronto. This was a small private garden in the Don Mills area. The owner had removed all the lawn in front and replaced it with a mix of small trees, shrubs, and perennials.

The Garden of the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto
While in Toronto in June we got to see the new Aga Khan Museum, which had opened just the previous September. The museum is a showcase of Islamic art and culture from around the world.
