Native plant profile ( for the birds , of course)

Among the native plants selected for the Brooklyn Bird Club plant site was Winterberry Holly. Its part of an assorted mix of delectable plants that birds feast on, with seasonal blooms to sustain them through the year.

Here's a profile of Winterberry Holly , and from time to time profiles of other plants at that centennial native plant site. Since migration has tailed off, until August when the warblers come back ( and the rest in September) , its important to think about habitats after the "spring frenzy" is gone. :)>

PS. Sometime at the end of June , there will be another planting at the BBC Centennial site, this time for wildflowers. I will keep you apprised since the delivery date of the plants from the Staten Island Greenbelt Native Plant Nursery is uncertain at this time.
