PO Box LAND, Box 1086, Portage La 520, Stratford, Ontario N5A Prairie, Man., R1N 3C5 Woods, Water and Wildlife The Natural Way by Marion Strebig What sort of landscape has the melting snow uncovered "around your home? Probably an expanse of brown stubble and some carefully pruned bushes confined to edged beds. There is the large Spruce set squarely in the middle of the yard. But it is all a little boring, without surprises or variety in vegetation or terrain. And yet you probably enjoy, spending time in more natural set; tings, walking in woods and meadows. Spring, like the start of a new year, is a good time to make resolutions. resolutions. Why not change your personal personal landscape a little tjiis year, and in the process, maybe your style of gardening. After all, less use of the power mower and a little more hand weeding might be good for your figure; and getting rid of lawn sprays will benefit all living things, including you. The earth will pollute with earthworms, the garden will swarm with bees, butterflies butterflies and ladybugs. This kind of garden won't be to everyone's taste. For some, nèatness is compulsive; everything must be symmetrical. Nature is seldom tidy; things sprawl and climb. However, if you would rather listen to the evening song of the Robin or the House wren instead instead of the roar of the power mower, maybe you're ready to make a change, and to be, like Nature, a little more relaxed. Take a good hard look at your lot. Maybe there is a strip along a back fence or on a slope where you could seed some wildfloweis and forget about mowing. One seed company in Ontario is putting out native seed mixtures this spring. Try a packet and see what happens; it can't look any worse than it does now. Maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised, you may get some interesting selfseeders selfseeders in the unmowed portion. Butterflies should certainly be one splendid side-effect of introducing native wild flowers; the Swallowtail likes 1 umbelliferous plants like Queen Anne'j Lace and Dill and the Monarch will seek out the wild Asters, which are genetic parents of the Michaelmas daisies. One very difficult thing to do in creating more natural space is to change one's mind set about what constitutes a weed. The much maligned Dandelion provides, on unsprayed land, nutritious greens and, gone toseed, food for Goldfinches and other finches and many kinds of Sparrows. Besides it is really quite attractive, and an early early and vigorous bloomer. How often have you seen the road verges which had been brilliant with Ox- eyed daisies, Fireweed and Buttercups, Buttercups, mowed or sprayed relentlessly because they're all weeds to the roads department. What mania drives us to turn open space into deserts? How much pleasure that fence corner,-so hard to get at with the mower, would give in September if it glowed with Asters and Goldenrod. Another way in which you might make your yard more like a natural woodlot is to replace dead or delicate ornamental shrubs or small trees with sturdy and attractive native species. Most nurseries now carry a selection of these. Many species like Nannyberry, Red Osier Dogwood and Sumach have ornamental ornamental fruit which also attracts birds.
