Trees, Vines and Shrubs
Incorporating trees and shrubs into your landscape will provide perching places for songbirds as well as four-season interest. Many trees and shrubs have wonderful blossoms and fruit or seeds for wildlife. Vines are often forgotten as landscaping plants. Filling a vital ecological niche, vines can bear attractive flowers or foliage and provide fleshy fruit for wintering birds and mammals. Use vines to crawl up a trellis, fence or wall creating a wonderful habitat for wildlife.
