Gifts for Your Garden and the Birds By Kate Refine RECYCLE YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE
This is Kate’s favorite thing to do in her garden in January, because it accomplishes two goals in one effort: It creates a more environmentally friendly garden, and it recycles the tired Christmas tree. When the Christmas season is over and you tire of looking at your tree, don’t kick it to the curb. Instead, make use of it in a couple ways to help the birds and your garden! To attract birds, like chickadees, sparrows, and cardinals, put the tree in your yard either in its stand or in a hole deep enough to keep it upright. Then, instead of tinsel and glass balls, decorate
the tree with orange slices, peanut butter-covered pine cones, cranberries, and strung popcorn. The birds will enjoy the treats and the shelter that the tree provides. After you have had fun feeding the birds, reuse the tree again by lopping off the branches and laying them atop your perennial garden beds. The branches will protect the perennials from heavy snow and frost heaving. Plus, they stay green and look nice in the garden. In early spring, remove the boughs before plants start to emerge. You can then put the branches in your lawn bags.
