Seeing many many bees in the garden. This has been the best year yet for biodiversity in the yard.

Same, and also butterflies for us! We decided to let dandelions run wild, and before this I had no idea that they could grow like 6+ feet tall, or that butterflies absolutely love them.

right on. I made dandelion jelly a couple years ago. I didn't love it enough to do it again, but I'm glad I did it once. it had a nice floral flavour and scent. let me tell you, it takes a heck of a lot of flower petals to do it

have you noticed more birds too? i've found that successive years of rewilding/improving biodiversity stack up over time. I really hope I am here to see this place in 20 years when trees I've planted are grown.

Absolutely, way more birds than when we first moved in. Luckily there’s established trees in our yard too, and I’ve noticed a bigger variety of birds lately after we started planting wildflower patches in our vegetable beds too. I think they like the insects we get in our yard as well thanks to all the different plants

As a bonus, the neighbors have given up complaining at us about it, lol

I've planted a tiny meadow in front of our rental and the birds are really loving it. They come to eat the seeds and it's so fun watching them hop around in the daisies.
