The Wild Child Gardens of Natural Wellness, Oakland, Tennessee Garden is located in suburban Fayette County, Tennessee. The property is a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat, and a certified Tennessee Smart Yard. I completed a lengthy process of mapping, documenting, and designing a sustainable habitat for wildlife that provides food, water, cover, and places to raise young. I used a variety of existing materials to accomplish this and left the yard natural to create a meadow-like environment that birds especially love. There is a large farm that lines my neighborhood with lots of trees and shrubs for wildlife to use.

I have two special Houses for Blue Birds, and each house is teeming with adults, fledglings, and eggs. When the little ones fledge, they line up on my deck railing to practice flying and get a morsel of food from their parents. I also have a large container garden planted with hummingbird favorites, and enjoy their migration in the fall, when the garden is covered with these tiny jewels. I have also seen house finches, cardinals, goldfinches, juncos, mourning doves, mockingbirds, robins, and chipping sparrows. They love my pollinator garden and are especially fond of the winter garden which is left natural to provide food, water, and shelter. Most plantings return each year thanks to these pollinator powerhouses!

The Wild Child Gardens of Natural Wellness, Oakland, Tennessee Garden is a container style deck garden that contains an array of Native American and medicinal herbs, plants, fruits, vegetables, and Apothecary's Rose, an heirloom red climbing rose cane that dates back four generations. All plant materials that are used in my products are cultivated, grown, watered, maintained, harvested, and cleaned by hand.
