When planning a large, new pollinator garden or wildlife habitat project, it is easy to get carried away and try to take on too much at once. If you are thinking about starting a big, new project this year, I encourage you to think about how it can be broken into smaller pieces that are more easily accomplished. Concentrate on only one or two of those smaller projects this year. Get those projects fully implemented and under control, then move to the next pieces of the larger project either later in the year or next year. You’ll likely have more success and get less discouraged than if you try to do everything at once.
