There's a wonderful garden gift you can give anyone on your gift list for Father's Day, Mother's Day, as a housewarming gift, for almost any occasion - who has a garden and enjoys wildlife.
Courtesy of National Wildlife Federation, you can get a garden "certified" as a "wildlife habit."
After answering a series of questions and paying $20, the official certificate is mailed designating your garden as a certified wildlife habitat.
National Wildlife Foundation Wildlife Certification questions focus on providing, food, water, cover and pest management without chemicals.
My certificate took 3 weeks to be issued.
Not sure of the answers?
Print off the questionnaire and provide it with a check for $20 so the gift recipient can answer the questionnaire themselves and send in for the certificate.
Just starting your garden?
Use the National Wildlife Federation guide to make sure you are providing wildlife basics.
I frankly was delighted when I got my National Wildlife Federation Wildlife Habitat certificate for Bluebird Gardens. There's something special about being reminded what you're doing is helping the environment.
I was also surprised to be only the 128,583rd certified wildlife habitat - there are a lot of people who enjoy nature the way I do.
If you want to be a little more formal with your certified wildlife habitat gift, have the certificate framed.
I found this frame at a resale store for $2, without glass.
I then took it to our local glass shop and had a plastic piece installed for $3.
I replaced an old mat with the yellow one so the wildlife lettering pops. Dark green or blue would work well, too.
I can personally attest getting my wildlife garden certified as a National Wildlife Federation wildlife habitat is a great garden gift idea for any garden and nature lover on your gift list.
