The nursery’s wild creatures
Leif has a new article posted in the library. It begins:
The environment in which we live can make all the difference in our health, happiness and energy levels. We understand very well how changes in working conditions, sleep patterns, eating habits, interpersonal relations, mobility and the conditions of our living quarters can have a big impact on how we feel and function.At the nursery the tens of thousands of plants in containers create a unique environment that we might not think of as the perfect place to settle down and call home. Despite our human perceptions, each season we have a variety of wild creatures adopt our container plants as their nesting ground and new home.
In addition to the expected mice and rabbits, we regularly find ducks, robins, wrens, blue birds, squirrels, raccoons, ground hogs, and deer staking out territory to raise their young, or deciding that our nursery stock is a first class buffet line.
Leif’s articles appear in the Wednesday edition of the Northfield News, in the Farm and Garden section, just behind the sports page. All his previous articles are archived in our web library, going back to 2001.
