Plants for Birds in Your Backyard

While searching for the perfect plant for a garden or patio at a plant nursery, you may find yourself looking up all sorts of information.

Does the plant require full sun or shade? 

How much watering will you have to do? 

Is it too big or small for your area? 

There are many factors to consider, but one piece of information is usually missing from nursery display cards: what kinds of birds are attracted to these plants! 

That is precisely why these Plants for Birds cards were made and you can spot them down at Los Nogales Nursery, located at Audubon Center at Debs Park.

Rather than an exhaustive list of birds attracted to certain plants, these cards offer a quick and easy visual guide, showing the types of birds you could attract by introducing a certain plant into your backyard. The cards also offers information about the plant in question, both on how to care for it and how to find a fully-established version of it in a restoration site in the park.

By spotlighting birds and promoting the benefits these native plants offer to birds, it will hopefully lead to new native gardens all around Los Angeles and new habitat for birds.
