Tips for Starting a Butterfly Garden
When you look at a beautiful West Virginia garden, it's hard to imagine anything that would make it more attractive. But our real estate agents do have one suggestion you might like. Here are a few tips to help you create a butterfly garden.
• Pick the Right Spot
Butterflies enjoy sunny spots, shielded from wind and rain. Strong winds are hard on these delicate creatures, so it's essential to provide some protection. If your garden doesn't already offer those features, you can add shrubs or trees to your landscaping. Stick to native species. Some good choices are dogwood, wild cherry, and yellow poplar. It's important to remember that your winged visitors need both sun and shade. Large rocks placed among the shrubs provide resting places to enjoy the sunshine while showing off their splendid colors.

You could also add separate storage cabinets for each family member, which will help keep everything organized.

5 Tips for Raising Backyard Chickens
Raising backyard chickens has become an increasingly popular hobby, with more people enjoying fresh eggs as well as the fun that chickens provide.
Before you start buying chicks or hens, you'll need to understand the ongoing responsibility of raising chickens. Our real estate agents share the following 5 tips for raising backyard chickens.
- Make sure you follow the law.
You'll need to follow Morgantown's city ordinance that addresses chickens and other domestic fowl. In general, if you have more than two chickens, you'll need to make sure their pen, coop, or other structure is located 80 feet or more from another person's dwelling unless you have their written consent. You'll also need to make sure the chickens and their housing don't become offensive, noxious, or harmful to health so you don't run afoul of the law. In addition, if you live in an HOA community, chickens probably aren't allowed.

Buyers shouldn't be intimidated by the thought of renovating a home. Making a few upgrades and updates will put your own imprint on the property from the very beginning. At Heritage Real Estate, our team has been working on innovative ways to make the whole process easier for you.
