Master gardener Marian Thill shares simple techniques for using common garden elements to attract wild life. You will be amazed by the quantity and the diversity of birds and butterflies that can visit your yard.

Despite living within walking distance of the Edens Expressway, Ms Thill’s yard has attracted over 75 species of birds and 20 species of butterflies.
