The entry is accompanied on the site by three shiny pennies supplied by the diary writer. The site launches with the journal of a casino worker who wrestles with seedy bosses, zombie gamblers, and constant moral dilemmas and a utility company employee who describes his odd world in which assistants suffer from persistent neural blackouts and bosses log out, never to return. The ideas from viewers were incorporated into a garden design for the haven that was planted in Texas during April, 1998. This online series is the first-known garden design project of its kind, involving viewers from around the world. Viewers, some as far away as New Zealand and Zaire, offer suggestions using bulletin boards and chatrooms.
Viewers send free bird and gardening Internet postcards to online friends and family.
Armchair gardeners learn garden design, use a clickable haven map, as well as look up plants in the Plant Directory. Birdwatchers learn about birds and how to attract them. Parents find fun activities for children, crafters find projects to sew or make. Viewers can follow along in our series, learning tips to use in their own landscapes and gardens. However, viewers can see how easy it is to create new wildlife-friendly places for the birds, butterflies and other animals.
