Rosann's residential property is a testament to her knowledge and experience with gardening for birds. In fact, her property was featured in the May-June 2016 issue of Grosse Pointe Magazine. In an article written by Lauren McGregor, Rosann talks about the importance of native plants and pesticide-free gardening for increasing the bird count in her yard. Through dedicated changes to making it a truly bird-friendly habitat, she has been able to increase her backyard species from 100 to 139!
