Build a garden that supports birds beyond the feeder
Jen McGuinness frames bird-friendly gardening as habitat design: pairing native plants, insect life, water, shelter, and safer landscape choices to support birds through feeding, migration, and breeding. The book moves from broad planning principles to practical options for gardens of different sizes, including fruit, seed, rain, and container plantings. Eighteen step-by-step projects and plant lists give the guidance a hands-on structure, while sections on feeders, nest boxes, bird baths, window strikes, and cats address how everyday yard features affect birds. The emphasis remains on creating a varied home landscape that can provide resources across seasons.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Gardeners interested in supporting birds with native-plant landscapes
- Homeowners seeking project-based guidance for yards, rain gardens, or containers
- Bird enthusiasts who want to make feeders and other garden features safer and more useful
