Birds can be a living part of your holiday decor
Category: Xeriscaping, Grow Lawnless, Butterfly and Habitat Gardens | Posted: Mon Jun 30, 2008 1:56 am A winter holiday idea - While you're hanging those lights outside on the shrubs we leave cookies for santa.... String popcorn, cranberries and/or blueberries to create garlands. Drape them over your shrubs and weave them around your small specimen trees. The birds love it! This can be done any time of year, not just for the holidays. Not advisable for squirrel infested yards or wooded areas unless you do wish to attract and feed raccoons, deer, etc. works great in a protected suburban or urban front yard and is beautiful among holiday lights. if your garden isn't lit by streetlights, etc.,and you're concerned about critters, you can take the strings in overnight. but you really shouldn't have to - once they're spotted, they don't last long. you can also purchase inexpensive twig wreath forms and wrap the garlands around the form, hang from hooks on inside areas of fences and from tree branches. and easy to manage if you need to bring them in overnight.
