Birds & Blooms Consultations
No need to go searching for birds when you can bring them to your own backyard! With a bit of planning, some native plants that provide food and shelter, and a well placed water source (winter or summer!) you can turn almost any space into a haven for your feathered friends. They may even take up permanent residence! With habitat loss at an all time high, many species of birds are in decline, but we can help change that… one backyard at a time!
We offer consultations on gardening with native plants to build a healthy ecosystem for all our backyard inhabitants. We can also help with creating bird inviting bird environments, answering questions about wild bird feeding and proper feeders, nest/roost boxes, water sources, hummingbirds, logs and snags, and tips for cleaning and maintaining these spaces to keep our feathered friends healthy.
Book a consultation and bring life into your garden, a whole host of new birds to your backyard and bring new life to yourself as you spend time in nature and enjoy it’s wonders.
*Added Bonus: 10% of every consultation is donated to Ellis Nature Centre in support of their amazing work in wildlife conservation and education in sustainable agriculture right here in Central Alberta!
