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.
