Bird Gardening is fun and easy.

I teach classes on my class site (link is on my free site). My latest class is about Bird Gardening - just in time for National Wild Bird Feeding Month. Over on that classes site I have some blogs related to Bird Gardening - like this one.

How I Came to Teach About Bird Gardening Once upon a time I didn't know much about birds - but I was enchanted by them so I set out to create a healthy and happy home for them in my yard.

I confess, I do have a real weakness for these beautiful bulbs for the holidays. Especially since they can be planted outside and survive for years in Middle and Low Desert gardens. Yes, and coastal Southern CA too!
