Garden for Birds
March Planning & Projects: Garden for Birds
Each month, we will invite you to submit a photo showcasing a different aspect of your Garden for Birds journey. The theme for March is Planning!
Please share with us images to capture your garden plans for this year. Depending on your region and plans for your landscape in 2026, these pictures could depict a multitude of things:
- A new spot for plant(s)/garden
- Bird-friendly feature you will add such as bird bath, nest box, bird bath, catio, etc.
- Seedings being stratified (example picture in jugs) or seed packets ready to go
- A drawn map of your site
- Anything that shows your plans and process!
We'll add a collection of these to our website. It is fun to see other people's vision for their landscapes.
