Add Native Plants to Help Birds Thrive
Growing alongside local birds and pollinators, native plants are powerhouses for the wildlife in your backyard. They give birds natural food like seeds, berries, nectar and caterpillars (yes, thousands of them!) while also offering safe shelter and nesting spots. All of this means healthier birds, stronger chicks and a backyard alive with wildlife.
The best part: native plants are adapted to the region, so they thrive with less water, fertilizer and fuss. They even help manage rainwater and keep soil healthy.
Whether you have a big backyard, a small balcony or just a few patio planters, any space can become a bird-friendly oasis. Add native plants to your habitat and make a difference for the birds.
Join Vicki and Jeff at the Sparta Lavender Farm Friday May 15 @ 1:30 pm for a discussion on how to attract hummingbirds and orioles, the jewels of summer, to your backyard including what native plants will best support them over the summer. Be sure to bring your questions. See you there!!
