Insect Condo

 At the Denver Botanic Gardens there is a curving wall that looks like an art assemblage. It's the largest of many such homes in the gardens meant for insects and birds. They can be used all year round as shelter and as a safe breeding area. Most of the materials are leftover garden detritus such as twigs or large sections of fallen trees. Sheep’s wool insulates some areas. Humans also created bird houses and soft felted abodes, furnished with a variety of nesting or burrowing materials. It's a beautiful example of how we can help the smaller critters that inhabit our gardens.
