SUMMARY:Summer Gardening Series: Song Birds\, Caterpillars\, and Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:A yard full of song birds is a joy to behold! Did you know that 95% of song birds feed\ntheir babies caterpillars\, and they won’t nest where they can’t find enough? Many\npeople see caterpillars as pests who eat our plants\, but they are actually an essential\npart of a healthy ecosystem\, and provide extremely nutritious food for birds and other\ncreatures. These caterpillars are the larvae of our native moths and butterflies\, which\nneed native host plants on which to lay their eggs. It’s all connected! Are you curious?\nCome find out which are the best plants to provide good caterpillar populations for the\nwildlife we love\, how to support our native song birds in general\, and create a beautiful\ngarden adapted to our local conditions in the process!
