For the Birds Art Pack Seeds

Flowers for you, seeds for the birds. Flowers feed our souls. But they also feed many other creatures: they provide nectar to bees, and their seedheads yield food for our avian relatives. This mix of annuals should not be deadheaded; the seed heads produced after the flowers fade are a buffet for birds of all kinds, an array of sustaining flavors and textures that beckon them from the perimeter of your garden. Their swoops and dives as they harvest are a dance of thanks for your generosity. Gardening as a hobby? It's for the birds, literally! Art by the Foliage Library for Hudson Valley Seeds.
