Wanting to make a memorial garden type of deal for my dad who just passed, he really loved watching the birds so I want to start by planting a native tree in the middle of the yard (used to have a big one there but it fell on Father’s Day funnily enough) that will attract/ house the birds but I also want to make a bed around it and fill it with as much good **** for the critters as I can. Daddy liked hydrangeas so I’ll probably put one out front somewhere but we’re in North Carolina so I just wanna keep it all local and good for the lil guys that’ll hopefully be joining our garden
any ideas for trees or plants for the bed are welcome
