My daughter (born 1985) grew up with wildflowers, butterflies, gooseberries and mulberries, and critters like raccoons, 'possums, and squirrels. Now my daughter works for a park district, and my daughter-in-law (she's 31:) roams the yard on visits looking for bugs... and friends bring their kids to wander through the prairie and woods:) So I think it worked:) BTW, in the last few minutes, I saw several Monarchs, 3 Grosbeaks, 2 Cardinals, and a Goldfinch...
