Man-made waterfall supplies water for pollinators and birdsJohn Magee of <a href="http://www.john-magee.com/" target="_blank">Magee Design</a> in Middleburg, Virginia, works with clients to create artistic landscapes that provide habitat for wildlife. He recently announced that he will begin installing his projects through <a href="http://www.wildwoodlandscape.com/home/" target="_blank">WildWood Landscape</a>, a major Northern Virginia landscape firm. "One defining principle for me as a landscaper,” Magee tells me, “is getting people to use native plants in their landscape -- that contributes to habitat. That’s kind of where I start.”1
