The Lewis backyard garden was certified as a Wildlife Habitat in 2004. Designed specifically to attract bird life, the garden displays five water features and landscape elements incorporating numerous plants, hardscape and walkways.  Herb and Terry Lewis expanded their backyard habitat in April 2015 when they acquired the lot behind their existing residence (on Red Oak) in Blossomwood.  Over the last eight years they have been developing a bird sanctuary by adding native plants to attract butterflies, pollinators  and birds. A key feature of the Outback Garden is a 12 ft. diameter bubbling rock water feature specifically designed to attract migrating birds.  Other elements include a shade garden and a meadow area planted with native wildflowers and shrubs. The new garden is lovingly referred to as the Outback Garden.  Every time Terry would look for Herb, he'd be "Outback".
