Planting Native to Attract Birds shows you how to make your yard more welcoming to birds by growing the plants that naturally provide food, shelter, and habitat.
 
Bird feeders are wonderful, but birds need much more than seed. Native trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, and perennials can provide food and cover throughout the seasons, while also creating a beautiful, wildlife-friendly garden. Sharon Sorenson explains how to choose plants that support birds and how to incorporate them into attractive home landscapes.
T
he book covers nearly 200 species of native plants and explains why particular plants are valuable to birds, along with guidance for choosing plants that work well in a home garden. It includes recommendations for 31 Eastern U.S. states, from the Canadian border to the Gulf Coast and from Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, and Arkansas eastward. It also features beautiful color photographs of nearly 70 bird species.
 
Whether you are creating a large wildlife garden or simply adding a few bird-friendly plants to a small yard or container garden, Planting Native to Attract Birds to Your Yard offers practical ideas for making your outdoor space more useful to the birds you love.
 
A note for our customers: Because the plant recommendations are specifically geared toward the Eastern United States, gardeners in other areas will want to use this book for its broader habitat principles while checking local resources for native plants specific to your area.
