Attracting birds to your garden
Leslie Clapp, President of the local Downeast Audubon Society
chapter, welcomed us to her garden to learn how to make our
gardens more attractive to birds and butterflies.
Her advice included:
1. Go organic! Leslie uses only organic fertilizer. ProGro, available
at Mainescape in Blue Hill, is her favorite. She uses a small amount
of Neem Oil, an organic pesticide, only when absolutely necessary.
The rolling green lawns at Leslie's are just native growth, mown close.
2. Use plants, shrubs, and trees that produce fruit and seeds that
birds love! Think crabapples - a favorite of many birds. Other trees
might include dogwood(both native and kousa,) mountain ash or
rowantree (sorbus), and juneberry/serviceberry (amelanchier. For
shrubs, consider Butterfly Bush (Buddleia), Cotoneaster, Eleagnus,
Enkianthus, Winterberry (Ilex), Sumac, Elderberry (Sambucus), and
Viburnum. Echinachea is a top perennial, and THE annual for
butterflies is MILKWEED!
3. Plant in thicket-like groupings. Leslie advises plant 3, 5, or even 7
plants together. Birds love it, and it looks so lush!
4. Place your feeders near the plant thickets to provide cover and
resting places for the birds. Leslie uses a variety of rustic feeders
that are easy to make, as well as those commercially available. She
uses several different seed mixes tailored to the tastes of particular
bird species. Most of us aren't that knowlegable, so using a variety
of mixes should do. Leslie also feeds suet and peanut butter during
the winter.

Annual Garden Club Tea On Tuesday, August 10, 2010 we partied on the porch of Donna and
Yvan Dupuy's beautiful seaside home. It was a perfect summer day, clear and sunny, and the long views of
Blue Hill Bay competed with the equally lovely views of Donna's gardens and Yvan's orchard.
Twenty-seven members attended to nibble on delicious tea delicacies organized by our incomparable
hospitality team of Carla Evans and Bente Sivertsen. These two continue to outdo themselves! Our thanks
to them and to all who contributed goodies for the tables.
