What's Happening in the Garden Now?

Picture
FeederWatch: The feeders will be up all winter, so there will be life in the garden even as the plants settle in for their winter's rest. We've re-installed 5 feeders: a seed feeder, 2 thistle feeders, a suet feeder and a platform feeder. While the chairs may be gone inside, that doesn't mean when you visit you won't get to see our feathered and furry friends. From squirrels and chipmunks, to sparrows, woodpeckers and cardinals, the gardens will have plenty of life to watch and explore.
