if you plant it

I don’t think anything better exemplifies “if you build it, they will come” than nature. When we purchased our home, the previous owner had already planted an extensive garden, but the previous tenant had not kept up with it. Over the almost 10 years, we have gradually expanded the garden and focussed on planting native plants; and this means that we see all sorts of pollinators as well as other creepy crawlies that are a bit higher up the food chain. Perhaps “if you plant it, they will come” is our interpretation.
