How greenwashing can lead us astray in the pursuit of wildlife-friendly gardens

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, May 2, 2023

And one such initiative that has gained prominence is wildlife-friendly gardening.

Key Points: 
  • And one such initiative that has gained prominence is wildlife-friendly gardening.
  • But instead of focusing their limited time, energy and finances in these interventions that deliver effective results, many individual gardeners are falling prey to greenwashing.
  • Greenwashing describes a practice whereby a product’s environmental benefits are exaggerated or misrepresented.

Hummingbirds don’t use birdhouses

    • The concept is simple: hang the structures outdoors, wait patiently, and soon the nest boxes will be occupied by nest-building hummingbirds.
    • In much of North America, this intervention is targeted toward the ruby-throated hummingbird — a common garden visitor with the largest geographical distribution of all hummingbirds.
    • Many organizations working to conserve hummingbirds and other bird species have been trying to address this misinformation and redirect gardeners.

Bee hotels are often occupied by wasps

    • In recent years, bee hotels have become widely available to provide cavity-nesting bees safe places to nest.
    • Bee hotels are constructed from a variety of materials including hollow tubes or pithy stems, where a solitary bee can create her nest.
    • A comprehensive study of bee hotels in Toronto found that native bees accounted for less than 25 per cent of the insects using bee hotels.
    • During the study, the authors found that native bees using the hotels were attacked by parasitoids at a rate about three times higher than introduced bee species.

Nature is messy

    • The more diversity in the plant and animal species in it, the more healthy and resilient it is.
    • A tidy and well-manicured garden may not fully support the needs of the native insects and birds.
    • My advice to anyone looking to make their gardens more wildlife-friendly, is to consider pushing back against obsessive tidiness syndrome.
