Wildlife Quotes
""Just living is not enough," said the butterfly. "One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower." "
"A little beetle passed me by. He didn't make much fuss. He ran around my garden like a tiny yellow bus."
"Earthworms are the intestines of the soil."
"Give and Take. For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life and to the flower a bee is a messenger of love and to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving is a need and an ecstasy."
"Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."
"I do believe that an intimacy with the world of crickets and their kind can be salutary, not for what they are likely to teach us about ourselves but because they remind us, if we will let them, that there are other voices, other rhythms, other strivings and fulfilments than our own."
"If you want to live and thrive, let the spider run alive."
"Ladybird, Ladybird, fly away home. Your house is on fire and your children are gone."
Wildlife in Your Garden
It's Important to Care for Wildlife
Without wildlife, a garden would be a sterile place, if it managed to exist at all.
According to the bible, Adam and Eve were the first gardeners.
They were instructed to work in the Garden of Eden and to take care of it. The garden was intended to provide for all their physical needs.
They were also given responsibility for the fish of the sea, the birds of the air and every living creature that moves on the ground.
Gardeners today have the opportunity to help fulfil that mandate _ to provide for their own needs along with the needs of the animals, birds, fish and insects that share this living space with us.
There are all kinds of things we can do to encourage wildlife and they don't need to be expensive or take a great deal of effort.
In return, those wild creatures will pay us back handsomely, helping our gardens to thrive and providing endless entertainment, education and pure pleasure for us all
