Imagine looking straight into the eyes of a squirrel who recognizes you as part of his world. Or to see a mother deer leading her angular kids across the lawn on a dewy morning. Landscaping is just as important to our wild friends as it is to us - many of them are great little gardeners who till the soil for you, pollinate the fruit trees and keep the garden in balance. A pet-friendly garden design is not only about which plants you choose, but also how the garden is organized. The small birds, for example, like to have protective vegetation near the bird table, and the squirrel would rather hope between the trees than walk on the ground. And there are both plants that deter voles and that the deer don't like!
