  • Adding Memorials to Your Landscape - John F. Kennedy Jr.'s death has affected many of us in different ways. Memorials have popped up all over, as they do with the death of many public officials, celebrities and highly publicized short comings. You can remember your loved ones with these wonderful and heartfelt ideas for your own backyard.
  • Bird Watching Tips - Bird watching is a fun, inexpensive activity for families. You can reserve a special space for bird feeders anywhere in your yard, and throughout the year watch the variety of birds that come to visit.
  • Building a Basic Backyard Sandbox - There's no doubt about it, kids love sand. Digging, burying, sifting, pouring, shaping, smoothing, and shoveling! Building a sandbox is actually easy enough that the kids can be quite involved in the process.
  • Common Myths About Birds, Feeders, and Peanut Butter - For many years FamilyCorner.com has offered crafts and activities for children, some of them involving wildlife. In this particular case we are suggesting that you use peanut butter and bird seed to feed backyard birds. We are very aware of the myths that have made their travels around the internet, so we checked in with several bird experts to find out the real truth and debunk the myths once and for all.
  • Installing A Pond In Your Backyard - A long time ago backyard swimming pools, ponds, and waterfalls were possessions only the rich and famous had. Today, you can put in a simple pond for under $200.00.
  • Organic Backyard Care - Organic backyard care for the lawn or gardens -- vegetable or flowers and shrubs -- gets easier by the day. With a lot of creative experimentation, gardeners and nature lovers have created easy ways to add organic nutrients to soil, conserve water and prevent pests -- both insect and plant.
  • Prep Now For A Great Summer Lawn - I have a front lawn that is bermuda with K31 thrown in each spring for looks. Right now, it looks green when you drive by. You're saying what? Green, in the winter?
  • Preparing For Winter - A Humorous Twist - Grass lawns seem to be the stupidest thing we've come up with outside of thong swimsuits. We constantly battle dandelions, Queen Anne's lace, thistle, violets, chicory, and clover that thrive naturally, so we can grow grass that must be nursed through an annual four-step dependency.
  • Step by Step Rose Bush Pruning - Pruning your roses will give you healthier plants and flowers. Some people are intimidated by pruning roses when there is no need to be, it is very simple, fun and rewarding. All you need is a pair of loppers or other pruning device, a pair of gloves and a wheelbarrow or box to tote away the clippings.
  • Surviving The Summer - Has the heat of the summer taken its toll on your garden? If you live in the Southeast, there has been an abundance of rain this season and the water bills have dropped, but don't let this weather fool you - the hottest months are yet to come.
  • This Spring: Dig a Pond - This is the time to plan for spring gardening projects and a water feature is a wonderful addition to any garden. Building a garden pond is a family activity that is fun for everyone.
  • Twenty Tips for Producing Low-Allergy Gardens - What we plant in our own yards often has a direct effect on our own health and the health of those near us. A pollen-producing male tree in our own yard will easily expose us to ten times more pollen than would a similar tree growing just down the block.
