Certified Wildlife Friendly gardens

[Catherine]

Pesticides are pretty much banned in the city so things are safe for birds and insects. I think it would be good if the frogs moved into the city as well. They would be safer and some of us have ponds.

My whole neighbourhood is mostly garden. There are few lawns left. Also any odd little patch of dirt in a back alley or beside the subway station gets the "gorilla garden" treatment. That is where a group of local gardeners agree to meet up and garden a patch of unused land. Once these gardens are planted the city tends to leave them alone. A few mini parks have started that way. Every bit helps.
