One of the joys of being in the garden is listening to the orchestra of insects and birds. Here are some ways gardeners have lured them into their sanctuary. 
A Feeding Tree, opposite a kitchen window to enjoy them from inside as well.
A supply of fresh water is essential, year round…
Cluster housing, for the average family…
Single residence with plenty of acreage.
For Royalty, a castle. Note servants quarters behind!
Aside from attracting our feathered friends to the garden, these touches of whimsy add character and HEIGHT to a planting, or can serve as nice surprises tucked in the appropriate spot.

Some amazing birdhouses
Oh! I love these!
That water fountain is the best I’ve seen. Gentle bubbling water… clever, attractive and multi-purpose. The bird houses were pure & wonderful whimsy. –Shyrlene
