It’s that time again. Time for our weekly meander around the internets to see what’s new, exciting, or noteworthy. I read a lot, so I like to share with you some of the interesting things I find in my travels.

Kelly Senser, of National Wildlife Magazine, asked me to contribute a “Gold Medal Plant for Widlife,” to choose one of my favorite native plants and tell her why I liked it. She has put together a wonderful collection including some of my favorite wildlife garden writers and some new ones for me to get to know. Follow @klsnature
Judi Gerber at Care 2 Make a Difference has a fascinating article about establishing “people’s gardens” in your community. According to Judi “Growing a community garden promotes health and wellness, provides a place for leisure, provides food for those in need, creates wildlife habitats, storm water control or water quality improvement, and provides teaching opportunities.” I could not agree more!
Marghanita Hughes of Little Humbugs asked me to write a guest post about Attracting Butterflies to Your Garden. This is a wonderful way to involve your children in gardening and spurring their interest in the natural world. Follow @littlehumbugs
Every Little Bit Helps is the mantra of Kathy Green, a fellow gardener and good friend to wildlife. Her point, if every gardener and homeowner did just one thing to help the environment, we could collectively make a huge difference in protecting wildlife and natural ecosystems.

My friend Alison Kerr (@alisonkerr) at Loving Nature’s Garden suggested a post by Lisa Gustavson to be included in this week’s Best of the Web. Winter Interest Wednesday is a poetic reminder that spring will finally come, illustrated with beautiful photographs. Follow @getinthegarden
Oh, and I was very busy this week here, too. I launched the Ecosystem Gardening Facebook fanpage as well as the Ecosystem Gardening newsletter, Wren Song. I’d love for you to check them both out and tell me what you think. Thanks.
That wraps up this week’s Best of the Web. What did you find interesting in your travels around the web this week?
