This is more about community urban gardens than backyard habitats, which are different on several dimensions, such as tree cover, water access, and sunlight. Nevertheless it dovetails nicely with a discussion late last year, "I built a wildlife pond" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33952437 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33952437). Even man-made habitats which incorporate plants and features that are amenable to plant and animal life will flourish, and attract animals that its creators never envisioned whether it's bees looking for flowers or mammals drinking at the pond.
