BIODIVERSITY helps everything to grow better, find a balance and create resiliency. The more types of plants, the more pollinators, birds, insects, amphibians which create a natural balance of conditions. Any garden will benefit from including flowers, herbs, vegetables (annual and perennial), shrubs to ground cover. A joy to work with nature towards balance.
