Description
Another Bonus episode - the audio of a live stream where Grant Williams and Dr. Holly Parsons suggest some plants they like to use in a bird and wildlife-friendly garden, and give some design tips.
Grant draws upon his knowledge as a horticulturist to suggest an approach to structure, and to suggest a few plants from each category that he suggests using stratification as a major design principle - thinking like a bird!
Holly draws upon her experince with the Birds In Backyards program to add more useful species suggestions.
If you are designing or improving a bird-friendly garden, listening to this episode will be time well spent.
