Dreaming of Spring? Plan Your Garden as a "Bird Cafe"


Cost: You might save some money by decreasing the amount you spend on fertilizer and pest control.

Nothing beats native vegetation to feed the birds of your area. If you plant a variety of native plants, they can provide birds with food at different times of the year in the form of fruit and seeds. Native plants also are home to tasty invertebrates like bugs and spiders.

Learn more at Audubon At Home and use the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center’s Native Plant Database.
