X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Birds are a savvy gardener&rsquo\;s best f
 riend\, as they eat hundreds of insects a day and feed them to their young
 . Toads eat 300 insects a night!&nbsp\; Butterflies and moths pollinate 8%
  of the world&rsquo\;s flowering plants\, bees 16%.&nbsp\; Unfortunately\,
  with habitat fragmentation and too many deer over-browsing the understory
 \, our songbird populations are plummeting here in Maryland.&nbsp\; Our be
 es are suffering too and butterflies are not faring very well either.&nbsp
 \; What can you do?&nbsp\; Plenty!&nbsp\; With a bit of planning and a few
  simple tweaks\, you can transform your patch of the world into a haven fo
 r wildlife. Whether you garden in a container or on several acres\, you ca
 n make a difference &ndash\; come and learn how!</p>\n<p><strong>Marie Roj
