Bird Friendly Garden

 

Bird-Friendly Garden

A garden rich with food sources and nesting sites is an ideal year-round habitat for songbirds. Cotoneaster, viburnum, and other shrubs produce fruits that are relished by birds throughout the growing season. Coneflowers and black-eyed Susans offer their seedheads in fall. This garden can be planned around an existing shade tree in place of the October Glory maple. It includes plants for both sun and shade.
