Spring is near, but please have patience with yard cleanup, because insects still need to sleep a while.
I made this sign to show neighbors how important this is.

Shut those lights off! Spring migration is underway! 🐦🌎 From March through mid-June, billions of birds travel from their southern wintering grounds to northern breeding habitats β€” with peak migration happening from mid-April to mid-May. As temperatures rise, this incredible movement sweeps north like a wave, reaching northern states by mid-May.

You may spot:
🟑 Warblers
🟒 Shorebirds
πŸ¦… Raptors
πŸ¦† Waterfowl like ducks, geese, and swans
πŸ’œ Purple martins (some begin moving as early as February!)

Most songbirds migrate at night, flying in cooler air to avoid turbulence and predators.

You can help migrating birds:

πŸ’‘ Reduce light pollution – Turn off non-essential outdoor lights between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. to prevent disorientation.

🌳 Provide habitat – Plant native trees, shrubs, and flowers to supply insects, food, and shelter for resting birds.

And please see my important comment below.

Our Story

We design gorgeous weddings, using our own locally grown flowers. Beautiful, full wedding designs using unique organic flowers. Wildflower look, rustic, natural mountain weddings can be yours for a fraction of the cost. DIY brides may buy flowers direct in bulk (bucketfuls).

We manage over 100 acres as conservation lands; developing and maintaining wildlife habitat. We plan to leave the farm more natural than how we found it. We are committed to cultivating the flowers and foliage we use. Foraging only invasive plants. We do not believe in wild collecting or crafting in this era of human history.

We work long hours to to deliver perfectly fresh unique mountain flowers. Susan and Brent are directly involved in every design and flower cut from Shady Grove Gardens.

On the other hand, if you want roses for your wedding, we will get you roses. We want happy brides and we love working on small weddings that use lots of our flowers.
