Following a popular presentation in 2022 on "The Joy of Birds" Rachel and Mike are back to show you ways to attract more bird species to your garden. You'll gain practical tips on growing the local plants birds love, providing relevant food for different birds, choosing the right plants for shelter, safety and nesting; the best ways to provide the water birds need, and how to keep birds safe from attack. It will include examples of local plants, and local gardens, and of course, local birds. Did you know that recent research has shown that people are happier when they see more bird species in their garden? Come along and learn how to build a beautiful bird garden to enjoy.
