How do I make a vegetable garden wildlife-friendly?

[Evelyn]

A vegetable garden can support wildlife while still producing food. Add companion flowers, avoid harmful pesticides, create insect hotels, use organic compost, and leave small wild corners. Pollinators help improve crops, while birds and beneficial insects can naturally control pests in the garden.

Plant some bright companion flowers like marigolds around the edges to invite all the good bees and butterflies in. You can also leave a little shallow dish of water out for the birds to sip on hot summer days

One way to make your vegetable garden a wildlife haven is by planting native flowers, offering water sources, not using harmful pesticides, and creating habitats with shrubs or wood piles. Invite pollinators and helpful insects and at the same time, keep some natural areas for birds, butterflies, and other good wildlife.
