Big Ideas

Real Impact.

Friends of Bird City Gardens is dedicated to helping Stillwater residents and visitors think differently about gardening. Go with native plants and you will see their impact on wildlife right away.

The plants sold at most garden stores are non-native and aren’t the kind that allowed local birds and pollinators to evolve.

Reach out to us if you live in Stillwater and want help creating a native bird garden!
