Can you identify this Northern Virginia native plant?

One of our favorite things about gardening is discovering the small details that make a landscape come alive. From pollinators to seed-eating birds, the plants we choose can provide valuable habitat right outside our doors.

Do you know the name of this little yellow-flowering plant? Tell us in the comments! 🌱🐝

Your Garden Is More Than a Garden. It’s Wildlife Habitat.

This National Wildlife Day, September 4, we’re celebrating the incredible wildlife that can find food and shelter in our gardens.

A thoughtfully designed landscape can play a surprisingly important role in supporting birds, butterflies, bees and other beneficial wildlife as natural habitats continue to disappear.

🌸 Choose plants that provide food.
🦋 Create layers of habitat.
💧 Add a water source.
🍂 Leave it a little untidy.
🌱 Rethink the perfect lawn.

The best wildlife gardens don’t have to look wild. With thoughtful design, they can be a beautiful and welcoming spaces for both people and nature.

This National Wildlife Day, take a look at your garden through the eyes of a bird, butterfly, or bee. What does it have to offer?

At Deehan Landscaping, we believe beautiful landscapes can do more than enhance your home. 🌿

The lower heat stress, and reduced w**d competition give new grass seedlings the best environment to develop mature roots before winter.
