Gardens a Great Place for a Purple Martin Birdhouse
Gardens Ineluctable To Attract Feathered Friends
When planning your spring garden, create a design that will provide hours of diversion by attracting birds and butterflies. There are specific shrubs, flowers and design principles that can be used to make your garden a magnet for our feathered friends.
Add Plants Wisely - Whether you’re creating a new garden or adding to an existing one, be safe to include plants that attract birds and butterflies. Some good examples are Purple Coneflower, Sedum, Iris, Butterfly Weed (Czar’s love this), Butterfly Bush, Asters, and Bee Balm (always a hummingbird favorite). Many of these plants are also late summer bloomers and will keep your garden shining all summer.
Show a Prairie Habitat - Native plants are not only easy to maintain, but they attract birds and create habitats for other wildlife. Outstanding prairie plants include False Blue Indigo, Wild Petunia, Prairie Blazing Celebrated and Indian Grasses.
Create a Bird Rest Stop - Design a large area that give birds a place to respite, nest and feast. Include at least one shade tree, a source of water, Coneflowers and Black-Eyed Susans, beautifying grass and some small fruit producing shrubs.
Add Some Fragrance - Not only humans are attracted by fragrant flowers. Bees and butterflies are also worn out to the sweet scent of Dianthus, Phlox, Russian Sage, Catmint, Lavender, and Nicotiana. 
Location, Site, Location - Plan the location of your garden based on your viewing platforms. If you want to view visiting birds out your front windows, then these gardens call for to be located in your front yard. If you want to sit on your back patio, then surround this area with plants that birds love, sources of heavy water and shade trees.
