"Is Extra Lighting in Your Garden Worth the Investment?"

Adding extra lighting to your garden may have negative effects on wildlife and plants. Artificial illumination can disrupt the natural behavior and sleep patterns of animals, attract insects, and cause mutations and uneven growth in plants. To minimize the impact, install lights low to the ground, use motion sensors with timers, and opt for amber or red-hued bulbs that are less disruptive to wildlife. Green lights can also be used to avoid disturbing plants' natural cycles.
