If you could, how would you create a yard that invites and supports avian, insect and native plant life? What features are must-haves? And what lessons have been learned along the way?

Two BBC Members share how they designed their own yards with native plants and sustainable water use, with exciting successful results. Learn some guidelines and resources, and which native plants and designs might be of use in your own space.
