The amount and diversity of life in the urban area directly reflects the practices and plant choices of urban gardeners.
Gardeners increasingly recognize that wildlife enriches their personal garden experiences.
Now they may begin to recognize the connection between the quality of their privately owned urban habitat and quality of life in urban areas. In the web of life, everything is connected. Nothing happens to one thing without consequences to something else. The job of gardeners who want more life in their gardens is to recognize that a system of connections exists between every living thing in it. It can be restored, and humans could live in considerable numbers on much of it.
