A Collection of inspiring and beautiful Treasures that has grown over the years. It was time after all these years of collecting to share it with al of you. I hope you'll love it as much as I do.
Gardening is wonderful therapy for me. Some may find my garden to be a mess, with hundreds of plants all tucked in together with limited structure and order while others will stop on the sidewalk to tell me that they enjoy walking by daily to see what’s new. That’s what I like about it: the mishmash of trees, shrubs, perennials, vegetables, herbs, garden art and bird feeders make the garden a joy to walk through. I revel in each new volunteer that joins the fun while I keep up with the old favorites and recent additions.
I was happy to find the artists at To Make You Smile had donated whimsical birdhouses to gardens for healing purposes. According to Teresia Hazen, registered horticultural therapist, and coordinator, Therapeutic Gardens and Horticultural Therapy, “Watching birds gives patients, their families, and staff members a window on the world of nature. And enjoying the beauty of the winged creatures while walking in the garden brings healthful pleasure.” I particularly enjoyed the installation at the Legacy Emanuel Children’s Hospital and can imagine how delighted the children would be to see the birds bringing nesting materials and then food for the hatchlings, the wee peeps of tiny occupants and watching the first flights.
I love the use of color, height, and recycled materials used to make these inspirational birdhouses. I know I’ll be setting up a few come next spring and if I can get to one of To Make You Smile’s shows I’ll have much to choose from. For more information on how to get one of these lovelies, contact info@tomakeyousmile.com. I’m sure these colorful creations will bring some added therapy to your garden.
A birdhouse is just one way to encourage birds to visit your garden. Try making this DIY Wild Bird Suet Feeder or this Flowerpot Bird Feeder, and don’t forget to get to know your feathered visitors by reading up on these 12 Fun Facts About Backyard Birds.
