March 3 marks World Wildlife Day, and there's no better opportunity to turn your backyard into a safe refuge for birds, insects, and mammals. This year's international celebration is all about medicinal and aromatic plants, which just so happen to be some of the best for supporting biodiversity and wildlife in your garden.
While traditional wildlife garden features are important to have (like this gorgeous ceramic blue bird bath from Amazon), the key to supporting a wider range of wildlife is growing plants that offer them food and shelter. Aromatic herbs and fragrant flowers are some of the best for attracting them.
