Plan on Spring!

       Well, it's not exactly spring yet, but that doesn't matter. Get ahead of the rush for a landscape design, lawn and landscape maintenance (mowing, trimming, planting, weeding etc.), a lawn fertilizing program, and any other outdoor upkeep and enhancement you would like to have help with.  

       Winter is the perfect time to plan landscape design and maintenance at your home for the coming season. Have a landscape plan done now, and you'll be one of the first on the list to have your installation done when spring arrives. Our staff is ready to help you plan the landscape of your dreams.

Mourning Dove

Basics: Mourning Doves are light grey and brown and generally muted in color. Males and females are similar in appearance. These are called Mourning Doves because of the mournful cooing sound they make.

Housing: A platform is most ideal for attracting mourning doves. The base should be 8 inches by 8 inches, with a ceiling height of 8 inches. Mourning doves are ground birds, for feeding and even nesting. They may also nest in shrubs within several feet off the ground.

Food: Seeds make up 99 percent of a Mourning Dove's diet, including cultivated grains and even peanuts, as well as wild grasses, weeds, herbs, and occasionally berries. They sometimes eat snails. Mourning Doves eat roughly 12 to 20 percent of their body weight per day, or 71 calories on average.

How to attract: Running water, millet, and platform houses are SURE to draw mourning doves to your property!

Fact: These birds are Monogamous. Both parents incubate and care for their young. You will rarely see a mourning dove without his/her partner nearby.

Winter feeding Tip: Site feeders in locations that offer birds shelter from wind and snow. Mourning Dove is a slower moving bird, shelter from raptor predators to the feeders is really important. This includes thick shrubs and evergreens as well.

Mini Plants

       Miniature plants can be used in a variety of ways. They work great in cute little containers, terrariums, and of course in fairy gardens. The joy of miniature gardening is the blend of crafting and gardening. The crafting part is the creation of your idea and putting it into a garden. The gardening part is choosing the plants that suit your idea and will grow well together. The same golden rule applies here as in your landscape - choose the right plant for the right place. The associates at Hillermann Nursery are here to help you with design, selection and care tips.
