Add Some Unexpected Color to your Garden
with Birdscaping
If you ever have stopped what you were doing to watch birds at a bird bath or feeder, you know that they can be quite entertaining. Did you know that the average home landscape can attract 20 different kinds of birds. If you make your yard bird friendly with birdscaping, you can attract up to 60 different kinds of birds!
So what exactly is birdscaping? Birdscaping is simply landscaping to attract birds. One of the best ways to attract wild birds is by planting trees, shrubs, and perennials that will provide food or shelter. Daylilies, Salvia, Bee Balm, Weigela, Serviceberry, Crabapple and Pear trees are just a few of the many plants that will attract loads of birds and thrive in our climate. To learn more about these plants, as well as many others visit our website at www.grieders.com For help designing your bird friendly backyard contact one of our designers at 309-662-8527 or by email at grieders@grieders.com | |
