Garden Dreams Episode 1 - Creating a Beautiful Habitat

Every gardener has dreams for their garden - what are yours? Welcome to the creatures and flowers in my habitat garden that I've been building for 23 years and dream to expand this year into several woodland wildflower areas! I was inspired by a lone butterfly when I dug my first garden bed; see how it has grown and now supports and embraces all wild creatures. Please let me know what your garden dreams are in the comments section, I would love to hear about them! As always, LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed this video, which is part of a collaboration with 4 other friends on YouTube in sharing their garden dreams. The first of a 5 part series, we will be updating our progress every other month until November - what worked, what didn't and what is to come. Be sure to take a look at the videos of these other garden dreamers linked below!
