First, check to see what kind of soil you have, and whether it is suited to the wildflower seed that is available in your area. Next, if you don't have a garden that you are letting revert to the wild, you may need to have someone use a rotor-tiller to break up a long swath of earth along the side or back of your lawn. Make sure this has been well-turned, and there is sufficient soil on the surface for the seeds to take anchor in, as opposed to scattering them on hard clumps of sod that may be dense with grass roots.

'Wild' garden seed can be purchased in containers, in pre-seeded strips of bio-degradable material, and in 'sheets', which are simply laid on top of ground that has been prepared and watered. Check the progress of your garden as it begins to sprout, and if there are any bare patches that show no promise of growth, you can scratch up the surface with a garden rake, and sprinkle some more seed. Even if you used the pre-planted materials, a little dirt added on top, with some seed, will help fill in the open spaces.Garden By Number: Garden Landscaping Made Simple

Natural grasses that go to seed will attract birds. A birdbath at the edge of your garden, or even further onto the lawn will provide water for the visitors, and allow them to splash and drink, then return to their browsing in the garden.
