The garden is a Certified Wildlife Habitat. It is separated into three parts, a Pollinator Paradise, a middle garden, and a vegetable/fruit garden. Bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies (especially Monarchs) are highly attracted to the Paradise. Native plants are used in the Paradise and changed out through the years, to provide variety for the pollinators.

Bees and Hummingbirds begin visiting the Pollinator Paradise in May, while Monarchs begin arriving in late July.

Although not native, there are over 40 varieties of daylilies in the middle garden. Peak flowering is late May to Mid-July. Within these beds can be found praying mantis, walking sticks, spiders, katydids, along with bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

Native birds also frequent the garden, such as Cardinals, Bluebirds, and Red-tailed Hawk, along with an ocassional Bald Eagle and Osprey have all been photographed (as we live adjacent the Tennessee River). White-tail deer, fox, turtles, coyotes, chipmunks, armadillos, and opossum have also been photographed.
