EXOTIC GARDENING FARM & WILDLIFE HABITAT

WELCOME TO THE
BIRD GARDEN

The Bird Garden is designed around making the landscape useful as well as beautiful. Plants, shelter and habitat features help create a garden where birds can find places to feed, rest and move through the property throughout the seasons.

GARDEN #5

The Bird Garden

A naturalistic garden shared by chickens, wild birds and wildlife-friendly plantings.

The bird garden is still a work in progress. It was set up as a place for our chickens to free-range. Over the years, I have found that letting it grow naturally suits the chickens as well as the wild birds. I have some plants growing already, but intend to add more. The plants currently in this garden include Ohio buckeye, viburnum, ginko, lilac, privet, honeysuckle bushes, hollyhock, artemsia, wormwood, poppy, roses, yucca and iris. I intend to add sunflowers, safflower, white millet, corn, sorghum, broom sedge, black-eyed Susans, coneflowers, evening primrose, bee balm, red clover, goldenrod, peanuts, nyjer, lettuce and other plants birds and chickens enjoy. There are also plans to put in a large pond with boggy edges.
