Fall is chilling into winter. I went out and gathered some materials last weekend while it was still cold but not raining.
My lovely grandchildren will be coming soon and I want to have a fun gardening thing to do with them. Don’t worry, I will share our creating when they get here but in the meantime do some gathering on your own. I gathered seeds from plants in the garden.
Echinacea
Echinacea, sunflower, rose hip, crocosmia, and grass seed were available in my limited garden. If you have huckleberry, salal, or other berries left gather them also and spread them inside to dry out.

We will be making things to feed the birds this winter so gather anything a bird would possibly eat. We will also be using some store bought birdseed.
Look for some conifer cones also. They can be brought in now to dry out. Hopefully they will open up and drop their seeds by the time we need them. If they are already open that is great too.
Check back for our step by step project!
