Bird Baths that Blend with Nature
Sometimes subtle is just better…at least in the realm of wild bird accessories and landscapes. A soothing, more natural approach may be preferred. Instead of vibrant ceramic, or shiny copper bird baths, you may opt for something that actually looks like it’s part of the environment.
This birdbath fits the bill to a T! The realistic natural tree bark finish makes it seem like the actual landscape it adorns. Durable molded fiberglass makes for simple maintenace too, an important factor sometimes overlooked when purchasing a birdbath. Complete with an ivy-leafy copper dripper, this bird bath will attract even more feathered friends with its gentle moving water.

Fine Art Glass Bird Feeder
The mention of unique birdhouses or bird feeders just seems… not so unique anymore. But this hand made copper and stained glass bird feeder is anything but the usual. Hand hammered copper, and vibrant hues of stained glass make this bird feeder a work of functional art for any environment.
Glass, being non-porous is less likely to retain bacteria and molds, making it a great choice for feeders, and healthier birds too. This hopper style feeder has ample perching room for birds to eat comfortably, and holds approx. 3 lbs. of mixed seed. It features proper drainage for seed and a copper hanger too. Available in five colors that seem to magically reflect sunlight, it makes an extraordinary gift for any nature-lover on your list.

Do They Really Use Butterfly Houses?
Do Butterflies Really Use Butterfly Houses?
Also called hibernation boxes, they make wonderful accents in any environment. Available in redwood and cedar, from basic to decorative designs, butterfly houses add a certain charm to any flower garden. But…you have to wonder, do butterflies really use them? I don’t have one in my own garden, so I can’t speak from experience here, but opinions do vary on the subject. Some say they will use them for protection from predators, and for roosting during inclement weather. Others will say not at all, and that a mud puddle is a nicer gesture for butterflies!
Of course flowers that produce nectar will always attract butterflies, and they just adore the gentle spray of leaf misters…this IS from experience! Several Butterfly Bushes, lots of Lantana, and Native Salvia, along with 2 leaf misters give us the daily pleasure of viewing these “flying flowers” daily during warmer months just north of Atlanta.
If you do opt for a butterfly house in your garden, the recommended height is about four feet above ground, and it’s best to have a southern exposure in the wintertime as well.
