what a cute idea

🪵 Build a Habitat Tripod for Birds & Pollinators (U.S. Native Edition)
Turn a simple tripod into a mini sanctuary for wildlife in your garden!
Zones: 4–9 (adaptable with similar native climbing + nectar plants).

• Coral Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) – climbs the tripod and provides nectar for Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.
• Bee Balm (Monarda didyma) – mid-height blooms that attract native bees and butterflies.
• Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) – supports pollinators and feeds Monarch butterflies.
• Milkweed (Asclepias spp.) – host plant for Monarch caterpillars and nectar for butterflies.
• Little Bluestem grass (Schizachyrium scoparium) – provides seeds and cover for American Goldfinches and Eastern Bluebirds.

🌿 A tripod like this offers food, shelter, and protection—all in one natural feature. Perfect for creating a thriving, wildlife-friendly U.S. garden year-round! 🐦🦋🐝

the peacocks just luv to spend time in my front yard orchard. theirs 5 that hang out daily in this area. it is said peacocks are territorial but they don't even care if I am in the area checking on my plants or working in the area. they are just chill.
