Backyard Columbus with Cathy Tiffany

In my podcast, I share with you my love of nature, centered in my own suburban backyard. My husband and I have transformed our 1/8 of an acre into a refuge filled with native plants, fruit-bearing bushes, native trees, ponds, paths and chickens! My real goal, however, is to share with you how you can take any size yard, using whatever time and energy you want to give and make your yard a happy and productive place for you and gives nature a space to thrive.

  The Hidden Magic of a Backyard

  Aug 12, 202620 minS2

  In this episode of Backyard Columbus, I'm talking about the hidden magic of a backyard: the tiny moments, unexpected discoveries, and everyday wonders that happen when we slow down and pay attention. From insects and flowers to birds, butterflies, garden surprises, and the quiet life tucked into ordinary spaces, a backyard can become so much more than just a yard. This episode is a reminder that nature doesn't have to be far away or dramatic to be meaningful. Sometimes the magic is right outside the back door, waiting in the weeds, the blooms, the soil, and the small things we almost miss. Whether you garden for pollinators, grow food, raise chickens, or simply love noticing what’s around you, this episode celebrates the joy of looking closely and finding wonder at home.

  How to Attract Birds to Your Yard

  Jul 8, 202616 minS2

  In this episode of Backyard Columbus, we’re talking about how to attract more birds to your yard by creating the kind of habitat they actually need. Following the National Wildlife Federation’s basic habitat guidelines, we’ll look at the importance of providing food, water, cover, and places for birds to raise their young. We’ll also talk about why native plants matter, how trees, shrubs, flowers, seed heads, insects, birdbaths, and nesting spaces all work together, and why a bird-friendly yard does not have to be perfect or complicated. Whether you have a small patio, a suburban yard, or a growing backyard habitat, this episode will help you take simple steps to make your space more welcoming for birds and other wildlife.

  How to Make the Most of Your Suburban Yard: Food, Flowers, Wildlife and Joy

  Jun 17, 20261h 12mS2

  A suburban yard doesn't have to be just grass, mulch, and a few shrubs. Even a regular neighborhood yard can become a place that feeds your family, supports pollinators, welcomes wildlife, creates beauty, and gives you peaceful places to enjoy being outside. In this episode, I can use our own 9,237 sq. ft. yard as an example, not as a “do all of this” checklist, but as proof that small changes over time can turn an ordinary suburban yard into something alive, useful, and deeply personal.

  Garden Guilt: Native Plants, No Mow May and Finding a Happier Middle Ground

  Jun 3, 202620 minS2

  In this episode of Backyard Columbus, we’re talking about garden guilt, social media clickbait, No Mow May, native plants, and the pressure to do everything “perfectly” when trying to create a better backyard habitat. Good ideas can sometimes turn into all-or-nothing arguments online, and that can make regular people feel overwhelmed, judged, or unsure where to begin. Instead of chasing perfection, this episode is about finding a happier middle ground: planting more native plants when we can, reducing chemicals, supporting pollinators, creating habitat, and remembering that small steps still matter. Your backyard does not have to be perfect to be hel...
