* it will be covered with native pollinators in June and July .... tons of neat little vespids (wasps) that do not sting.


the viburnum and holly have the right fats to carb ratio at the right time of year for the native birds.

ticks long pants and an insect repellent w/DEET.

BTW if you have and burning bush or barberry or other invasive plants on your property get rid of them
if you can.

BTW I am kind of an expert at this stuff.
