A Garden for Birds
США
Добавлен 15 ноя 2022
Welcome to A Garden for Birds, I'm so glad you're here! This habitat gardening channel focuses on fostering life and beauty in the garden - it's amazing how fulfilling a garden can be when it's connected back into your local ecosystem!
I have always loved gardens and landscape design - but it wasn't until I planted my first native garden that I learned the joy of watching birds and pollinators eat, sleep, and raise their young in my garden...and now I'm hooked! Join me as I do my best to make my backyard a pollinator and bird habitat by planting to provide food, shelter, and places to raise their sweet little families!

Is There a BOUNTY on Your Trees?? (Bradford Pear Buybacks!)
I just stumbled across this video. Love this. Very informative! Thank you for doing this.
You always have the info im looking for, love you!!
Love your content, new subscriber ❤ I really appreciate you citing websites, wish they were linked in the shownotes. I keep going back and pausing to find the address.
One of the best, informative videos i've watched and I have watched a LOT of them this winter. Thank you so much for spending your time making this video so entertaining and educational.
Wow. Not enough of these videos that help you "see" design. Well done.
I live in Ontario and was inspired by the British "hedgerows" which support birds and other wildlife. We have a semi-rural property. I planted a hedgerow of trees and shrubs local to me, including an existing white pine, serviceberry, red osier dogwood, winterberry, smooth hydrangea, and 3 sugar maples in a long "row" about 80 feet long and 15 feet wide. These were the few species of native plants I could find at conventional nurseries. As I learned more and discovered native plant nurseries, I added nannyberry and alternate leaf dogwood. In another location (under a black walnut tree) I added spicebush and lots of shade loving native perennials.
I love your videos! Please don't stop! ❤
I love your videos! Please don't stop! ❤
مسيىة موفقةحفظك الاه ورعاك 💚💚💚🍺🍣🍣🍣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
One of the best gardening videos I’ve watched. You have a way of presenting a lot of dry details and facts in an engaging way! I try to be more nature-focused in my gardening style but it seems so overwhelming. Your approach has inspired me! The bees, birds and critters of NW Arkansas thank you!
Love your nerdy and educational videos! I love all the details and science behind our gardens! ❤
My butterfly bush attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. It’s staying but I will add milkweed. I also have honeysuckle for hummers and coneflower and juniper and many other plants that attract wildlife in my tiny yard. And let me tell you those animals and birds know who you are and they are grateful. Thank you😊 for this helpful video.
I really appreciate all the work that went into this video
This is the perfect video to listen to throughout the snowy day with my newborn ❤
Aw, yay, love it! I was on maternity leave, snuggled up with our first on the couch, when I first started searching things like "how do I attract birds to my garden." A few months of learning about native plants and habitat gardening, all while holding a sleeping baby, and my life was forever changed! Glad you're getting some quality time with your sweet baby - and congratulations!
As a 66 yr old gardner, i must say ive learned many things in this video. Just bumped into your channel today. Yes, I to miss the bees and bugs in the winter. My planting is for all of them. Thank you though for the lession on native planting. Will be looking into who and what my weeds are about before killling them. Turely rethinking all that I do out there. . Im over here in W.Va so will be going though your vids for more ifo. Thank you....
So glad it might be useful! Wonderful that you're gardening for your fellow species - it's a wonderful feeling having them all visit our gardens! Definitely tough to miss them over the winter months, though - hang in there!
I'm so thankful that I found your channel! I have had a garden forever, but I didn't garden for the habitat until 2018. I was ignorant! My garden is not as 'pretty', but it is active! My adult children keep telling me to get another dog, but I have too many creatures to keep me company! Keep up the good work. Spring is around the corner.
Seems like many of us are late habitat gardening bloomers (forgive the pun!) but better late than never! Once you start, feels like it's impossible to go back! Thank you for watching!
Love your videos!!! So much important information presented in such a fun way. Snort-laughed again at the package delivery and how birds vote. Also "Just need to get these in the ground before my family sees." So relatable!!! Thank you for helping me ease my gardening deficiency syndrome in this white, gray and brown January. All the best to you until spring finds us again. 🌱
Spring will find us soon! Thanks for the continued support, and for watching such a long one!
Amazing video, lots of great ecosystem facts, much more than “gardening”. I just subscribed to your channel- keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Welcome aboard!
Your videos are amazing! So much information and you make them so entertaining. Thank you!
Thank you so much, that's incredibly kind!
What a great video! Thank you for making it and spreading such valuable information.
Thank you for the kind words!
I love this video and will watch it again!
Thank you! And thanks for the continued support, means a lot!
Awesome video👏🏻
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Love your videos!! Thank you for your channel
Thank you - glad you're here!
Oh my gosh, how did I not know all this after 20 years of gardening, and the last three in only native plants? Thank you so much for putting this all together for us!
I feel the same! It took me forever to discover all of this, but I was glad I finally did! Thank you for watching!
This is such a great video, seriously. I hope you reach a lot of people with this. Well done 👏 I bet it took a long time.
Thank you so much - that's incredibly kind!
New subscriber here. So happy I found your channel. What great work you are doing for the earth 😘
Yay, welcome aboard! So glad to have you! Thank you for the kind words! 💓
Keep it up! 🌱
Thank you so much - the support is much appreciated!
Loved seeing your Evening Primrose! This summer past I photographed two pink moths on the yellow blossoms and again later as the flower withered holding the moths with exposed pink wingtips. They really did camouflage well with the pinkish buds. A work of art! Also about 4 years ago I planted an Alternate-leaf Dogwood next to and under a dying Flowering Dogwood. Today the Alternate-leaf Dogwood has grown up through the branches of the FD and finding support from the one that’s dying. I may never remove the old tree and observe to see what happens. Like you say it’s so fun to observe and participate in what’s happening in the garden. Loved your video!
Wow! That sounds amazing! I’ve not seen the pink primrose moth yet, that sounds so exciting! Love that you got some photos of it! Nature is so wild - so glad you’re able to get out to see it! Thank you for the continued support!
Love this channel so much! Keep going! ❤
Thank you so much! Means a lot! 💓
Loved this video!! so useful and educational! ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Wow, what a powerful video. I started watching your videos recently (first one was the plants that attract birds) and am enjoying them very much. I am a fellow Maryland'er and have had my own garden for almost 5 years now. It's been a lot of work and determination, but it has been one of my greatest joys. My first project was winter sowing different varieties of milkweed to try to help the Monarch butterflies and had decent success. This year I am really trying to winter sow several different perennial flowers to help the pollinators so my fingers are crossed that I have success with that as well. Thank you for your hard work on these videos. They have been very helpful for me in deciding what plants to try to start growing in my yard.
Thank you for the kind words and support! It's wild how challenging gardening can be, but so worth it when we have some successes! In the summers I find myself stalking my flowers looking for bugs - so much fun having a garden full of life! Wishing you much luck with your winter sowing this year!
Time to plant a replacement dogwood while the other is still alive!
I've so far planted 4 dogwood trees, and am hoping to start working in shrubs as well! They make such great understory trees. The Pagoda dogwood is an interesting one - excited to see what form it takes as it matures!
@@gardenforbirds nice! I planted a pagoda two years ago. Love it. I’m on the same journey timeline as u. I love watching your videos but this one was outstanding. Thanks
Excellent video. Always looking forward to watching your videos. Well done
Thank you so much! The support means a lot!
Thanks for all this useful information. I'm looking for local sources for these plants and seeds!! Sending joy from Kansas!!
Thank you for watching! So wonderful to hear you're making plans for your garden! I find that's the best cure for the winter blues.
Happy to be part of your fungal community 😅🤗
So glad you're here! :D
What a fantastic comprehensive video! Love your channel. ❤🌱🌱🌱
Thank you Lisa, that's incredibly kind! (Love your channel as well! :D)
Plants vs Zombies is a video game.
Sounds like my kind of game! :D
The January gardening blues are so real😭 I’m 20 and your channel really inspired me last summer to plant native prairie plants, and I’m dying to be reunited with them in the garden:,)
So wonderful to hear you're starting your habitat gardening journey! It's wild how much a person can miss their garden - but spring feels so sweet when it finally comes! Hang in there!
Thank you. I am trying to make a habitat garden in the UK and trying to encourage more people to do the same. Nature is in decline here too - the UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. There seems to be much more awareness of the need to create habitat in gardens in other countries. So it`s got me thinking about language. I call what I am doing wild gardening and I wonder if the word "wild" puts people off, because they think it means unkempt and untidy. People in the UK like nice tidy gardens. This is such a good video, and you are so good at making videos, Isabel, in South Wales.
Packaging these ideas can definitely be a challenge, especially for people who have their habits strongly formed. It would be interesting to study what kinds of language get the most buy-in from people new to habitat gardening! One thing I'm hoping to try to counter is the idea that native gardens or habitat gardens can't also be tidy - for exactly the reason you mention, that we might get more people on board if they can see the beauty in it! Not an easy challenge - wishing you lots of luck in spreading the message in your community! The world definitely needs it!
I enjoy your videos Isabel!
Informative video...I plant for the birds and you are spot on. Great information great channel. Thank you for sharing.
So wonderful to hear you're planting for the birds! Makes for a fun experience, having them bop about in our gardens! Thank you for the kind words, and for watching!
What a fantastic and informative video! I just had to comment for the algorithm, but honestly, this was really great! I wish I had known about the fungal community earlier this year when I freaked out at the sight of “mold” in the mulch around a tree in my yard. I ended up spending the afternoon spreading it out in the garden bed I was making. Fingers crossed it helps the fungi spread and thrive! Thanks.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes, in the past I've done the same - tried to break up the fungus. Easy mistake to make, but was fun to learn it might be good stuff! Sometimes it can be a not-so-healthy fungus as well, so good to keep an eye out for those. This page has some interesting information, including how to spot some forms of pathogenic fungi, for example starting on page 5: s3.wp.wsu.edu/uploads/sites/2054/2014/04/FungalPlantPathogens_002.pdf
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for such fantastic information! Your time and knowledge is greatly appreciated. Gardening in zone 9b Texas Gulf Coast. 😊
Thanks so much for the support! Always fun to hear from people gardening from other regions of the country!
What a great video. You clearly explain , and then show, your intuitive design principals. I’m a fan! Thanks.
Thank you much for the kind words! So glad it might be useful!
I’m in south west New Jersey and my property soil , (and I am n side of hill in very urban area where my neighbors have heavily poisoned and fertilized lawns and invasive shrubs ) and is a lot of silt and is very dry in general . I struggle with spring ephemerals a lot of which like steady moisture. The only reliable ones I have are foam flower and plantain . I’ve planted so many others like Virginia blue bells that died . I also struggled with little bluestem , I had green and gold for a bit but that eventually died as well. Don’t get me wrong .. my garden is a neighborhood sanctuary … I’m regularly invited or on the native garden groups garden tour . I have many natives , many host plants and shrubs . But I have to really work hard with a lot of trials and fails . The spring ephemerals I struggle with the most . But I have many native flowering trees that hopefully help make up for it. My garden is at its best in autumn. And many natives I have to work hard to control… when they love my garden they REALLY love it .
I was literally just thinking this morning "If all the plants I've planted actually survived, my garden would be pretty incredible right now" :D Those kinds of struggles can be so frustrating. The herbivores in my garden are driving me nuts recently, I need to come up with a more robust protection system if I'm going too have any shrubs over 1 foot tall! :D I folded in some foam flower this spring and absolutely loved it - it made me look like I know how to garden lol, and it smells so good! I'm always grateful to have a robust native in the mix!
@ I buy rolls of chicken wire cut it with wire snips and make two foot high rings around the stuff the rabbits like . No deer here but flock finger lakes channel make similar large gauge ones and puts them around trees etc
Unfortunately my neatnik next-door neighbors spray for mosquitoes and the poison comes through my fence into my small garden. Last summer I noticed how many skippers i had one morning, but the spraying people arrived soon after and they were all gone. All I can do is keep planting native plants.
@@SMElder-iy6fl I worry that I am luring the poor insects to their death with all the toxins my neighbors use 😢
Thanks! Really enjoyed this video!
Thank you so much! It's truly appreciated!
EXCELLENT video! I’m so inspired… I want to tear out more lawn and plant more natives. I started two native beds last year and will make a couple more this coming Spring. I have Winter Sown 58 milk jugs and I’d say 75% of those are natives. I suffer from GDS too…it’s Zero outside right now with snow on the ground.
Thank you so much for the kind words! 58 milk jugs! That's massively impressive! Excited to hear you're working in so many natives - I've fallen totally in love with mine!
Very well rounded . I keep working on the real goal of my garden.
Thank you! And thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for the wonderful video. I am on the same journey here in 🇨🇦and really enjoy your channel. Habitat gardening is such a joy and so rewarding!
Awesome, always inspiring to hear others are habitat gardening! Gives me hope! It is such a joy, I'm so glad to have finally stumbled my way into habitat gardening!
I raised blue and pink oyster mushrooms in 5 gallon pails in ‘24 and then I put the spent straw into the veggie garden with lots of mulched leaves. I’m hoping the fungi will colonize on their own. It’s just one of many experiments that go on.
I've been considering growing food mushrooms but haven't taken the plunge yet! Sounds like a fun experiment! Wishing you a healthy crop! :D
About 30 different fungi bloom in my yard under the oaks. I thought it would be a great place to grow wine caps but three attempts failed outdoors. The project of growing oysters in sheet rock buckets yielded three blooms on each planting. Lions mane bloomed at my kitchen sink. Afterwards I put the sawdust block outdoors hoping that they’d grow In the yard, but no luck so far. Meanwhile all that spawn is going into the soil perhaps adding diversity to the underground network. It’s fun to see mushroom caps that have been nibbled by some critter.
