It takes approximately 10,000 caterpillars to raise a clutch (5) chickadees. Stunning blooms all season long turn to bright beautiful birds flitting about the garden at seasons end and into the winter. Based on Audubon research the plants in this garden provide our favorite songbirds with the protein needed to raise their young and the fat needed to survive the coldest winter. Finches, cardinals, chickadees and so many others will feast on the bounty of seeds and berries provided in this beautiful garden just for them.

How To Use Our Garden Design Guidelines:

Each one of our Native Garden Design Guidelines is designed for 100 square foot area. Feel free to multiply the number of plants as many times as needed to fill your space. The suggested placement and number of plants for each area appear as circles on the design. While the color and structure of each plant appear as a silhouette on the side view of the garden. These gardens can be combined as well to help achieve your garden goals. For example; the pollinator powerhouse garden and the hummingbird garden can be combined to create a display of bright blooms and equally colorful visitors.
