Attracting Wild Birds to the Garden

 

It gives me great pleasure to announce that my latest book in the From the Garden book series, Attracting Birds to the Garden, is completed. It will be ready for sale this November-December and like my first book, Get Your Hands Dirty: A Beginner's Guide to Gardening, it will be available as both a paperback book and an E book for a very modest price.  I hope to have a little drawing for a free copy right here on this blog, too, so do be sure to "follow" Seven Oaks or From the Garden books (my book imprint).

I love feeding the birds and one of the greatest joys I've had is introducing bird feeding, gardening to attract wild birds, and birdwatching to people.  John and I helped a former teacher of mine and my writing mentor install a garden in her Pennsylvania home many years ago, and she used to call me to share her wildlife news.  She loved to place peanuts in her garden for the squirrels, and while I give you tips in my book to discourage squirrels, this lovely lady - born and raised on the east side of Manhattan, where squirrels are about as wild as you can get! - loved their antics. 

This is a basic beginner book to gardening with birds in mind.  I include lists of plants that birds love, ideas for recipes to make your own bird feed, and much more.

It's 50 pages, black and white interior, and I need to get back to readying the final manuscript....

But I wanted to share this great news with you, and I hope you will take a look at Attracting Birds to the Garden!
