Hummers Thick in September
September is the best time of year to observe one of nature’s most amazing animals. It’s hummer month!

Few Americans have heard of Nicholas Pike, even though the result of his work is visible in almost every yard throughout the world. In 1852 Pike traveled to England for the Brooklyn Institute, purchased sparrows and had them shipped back to New York City.
The Ecological Lawn
In this herbicide and mower age too many people believe the perfect lawn is a deep green monoculture of Kentucky bluegrass with nary a weed. Winding Pathways thinks differently. To us the perfect lawn is a vibrant place filled with life. Rather than a monoculture it’s an ever changing blend of many plant species that supports a diversity of fascinating animal life.
