Butterfly Houses, Mason Bee Houses and Bat Houses

Winter is a perfect time for us to work on new birdhouses. This includes brainstorming on what we feel our customers may like for the new year and also gives us a chance to work on some new designs and color schemes. We are stocking up for the summer shows with a new variety of birdhouses and bird feeders.

Fred has been very busy this past week making butterfly houses and he is in the process of making a few mason bee houses. Last year we had requests from our customers for these bee houses. These houses attract non-stinging mason bees and are an essential part of your garden because mason bees are responsible for pollination.

Bat houses are always in demand, we sold out last year. By the time winter decides to leave, we should be ready for spring with our new designs.

New Design

Hi Everyone

Just wanted to share a new design Fred made a couple of weeks ago. The perfect birdhouse for a farm. We took it with us to the craft shows and people were delighted. One couple thought it was the perfect gift for their parents for the holidays. Take a look and you will see why. You can find it in our etsy shop also. Thanks for looking.
