If you love feeding and watching birds, learn how you can enjoy it even more – and also help address habitat loss, by creating a healthy year-round landscape for your feathered visitors –  with 100 Plants to Feed the Birds. 

This guide offers in-depth planting and care information for 100 native plant species that feed and shelter birds all year long, including during breeding and migrating periods. Some of these plants can be added to your garden, some are helpful wild plants to avoid weeding, and some are trees that you can plant.

Color photographs and range maps give you the visual guidance you need to choose the right plants for any location in North America.
