Continue ShoppingHave you heard of it? I first heard the term in another blog about our newest generation of gardeners. It is basically a trend where your growing space is returned to a more natural habitat that can provide food, water and shelter for all the living things in your garden; birds, small woodland creatures and of course pollinators.
From a design perspective it's all about putting Mother Nature in the driver's seat and, here is the hard part, letting go! Rewilding is about NOT being in control. What that means is less focus on hardscaping and more about introducing spaces that would be naturally occurring, like planting a native hedge instead of a traditional wood or metal fence. Or creating a meadow simply for pollinators, that requires less attention from human touch and can be over-planted to help control weeds.
Until recently, rewilding was a term reserved for large scale conservation projects. Restoring ecosystems to a point of balance , where it can take care of itself, and being able to reconnect with a natural world.
Over time I intend to introduce new garden spaces to our Cut Your Own Flower Garden, and this is high on the list for 2022. So Day 21 in our 24 Days of Giveaways is an escape to Stems Flower Farm. You will enjoy a Cut Your Own Experience for two people and as an added highlight, we will provide lunch while you’re here.
This prize is best suited for August or September of 2022.

I recently learned of rewilding on a program I love called Ageless Gardens. I was inspired by one gardener who moved away from her perfectly manicured and landscaped garden to embracing a wild, low-maintenance, pesticide-free garden. She saved plants threatened by new development programs and re-planted them in her garden, attracting all different kinds of visitors (everything from our threatened bee population to deer, snakes and everything in between). It has inspired me to start rethinking our own garden layout and seek out local organizations that encourage this type of gardening.

There’s something about not having it so “under control” our yard is huge since we are out in the country so it has some parts that are left to be wild and others more tidy. We see many critters from humming birds to moose and a deer who spit out the tomato it didn’t seem to enjoy! There is so much of Gods creation to enjoy and marvel at!

My garden has a “sweet pea patio” – a place where people can relax with a cool drink and watch the birds as they forage, play, sing, and prepare their nests. I have found, without much effort, that many flowers attract birds, bees and butterflies. I allow seeds to develop which provides a good source of nourishment, and there is a bird bath for them also to enjoy. The garden is always a busy place for wild creatures!

One of my friends pointed out that the easiest plants to grow are often the native ones, because this is where they want to grow and thrive!
