Wooden Birdhouse Towers Above Wildflowers Under Blue Sky Stock Photo

Rain gardens are shallow depressions planted with native perennials, shrubs and small trees. The result is a garden that not only looks beautiful and attracts birds and butterflies but also naturally filters and soaks up water. Bluebirds are cavity-nesting birds, and they regularly nest in wooden birdhouses of the appropriate dimensions. Houses should ideally be placed 4-7 feet above the ground in open areas, with the entrance facing away from prevailing winds.
