Feed The Birds............ January 12, 2021

The beautiful snowfall brought a new feathered friend to my feeder! It was an exciting time as we usually only spot "new to us" birds in Spring. This Winter we have been experimenting with different seed, suet and meal worms and to my surprise, attracted this Spotted Towhee!

After checking with the Audubon society, they mentioned these birds usually migrate. They said, "It's either early or decided to stick around". I think it stuck around with the mild winter we are having so far, as we have a few Robins around as well!

At this time of year take delight in seeing all the different birds you can attract by hanging a feeder or two, or three... and know all the good you are doing by providing nutrients to some that may be sticking around this winter!

Here are what a couple of our 2020 brides had to say:

"We used Countryside Flower Shop for our wedding bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and cake topper for our wedding on 9/12/2020. We were extremely impressed by the incredible attention to detail and professionalism all the way through. The flowers were all delivered on time the day of our wedding and were absolutely stunning!! Even better than what I had hoped for! I would highly recommend them for any events you have coming up." Megan

"Amanda prepared the flowers for my daughters wedding 10/10/2020. We were beyond pleased. She made her bridal bouquet EXACTLY as my daughter described it. No surprises, everything perfect as promised. All the table flowers etc, again, exactly as requested. They don't just use common place fillers either. There were many exotic, unique stems. Thank you Amanda!" Natalya

Winter is a wonderful time of year to reflect on what you like and don't like in your landscape. Perhaps you noticed where you would like more shade, more color or privacy.

Contact our Landscape Department for design and installation assistance.

Our website has a couple of handy tools to help you plan. Our Catalog lists plants we carry and our Plant Finder has pictures to help decide what plants you might like to add to your yard. Create your own wish list right there.
