Spring, particularly April, is a prime time for gardeners to attract birds by planting specific plants. Experts suggest that incorporating hawthorn, holly, and viburnum into your garden can create a natural food source for birds, especially during colder months. Additionally, leaving seed-producing flowers like sunflowers can entice finches and sparrows. For April planting, echinacea (coneflowers) and alliums are recommended, with echinacea being ideal for this month. It's important to plant in sunny, well-drained areas and ensure young plants receive adequate water. Diversifying plant types and flowering times throughout the year can also enhance your garden's appeal to various wildlife, making it easier to enjoy the presence of birds in your outdoor space.
