Notes from the field May 11-17: The potato patch is coming along, St John's wort reaching for the sky at a client stewards property, the floral arrangement season is here, a beautiful mural reminding us of our resilience, a clean up job on a bright and sunny day, and your's truly taking some precious moments with the great French Broad. Spring time is a season of extremes and fullness. I hope for you punctuated nature times of healing and restoration in your garden and in your life.

Make plans now to design a few of these plants in your garden. As winter finally loosens its grip, migrating songbirds return with empty stomachs and plenty of energy to replenish. 🌼 Early spring, however, doesn’t offer much natural food—unless your garden is stocked with the right native plants. These species supply berries, seeds, insects, and protective cover just when birds need them most, turning your yard into a springtime buffet.
Here are 12 native plants that are irresistible to songbirds in early spring:
Serviceberry — Among the first shrubs to fruit, offering robins and cedar waxwings a welcome early-season treat.
Red Osier Dogwood — Hosts plenty of insects in spring and produces vibrant berries later on.
American Beautyberry — Its clusters of purple berries often linger through winter, feeding hungry cardinals as the season shifts.
Winterberry — Bright red berries that remain into early spring, perfect for thrushes and bluebirds emerging from winter scarcity.
Chokeberry — Packed with nutrients, its tart fruits are ideal for fueling spring migrants.
Eastern Red Cedar — Produces berry-like cones loved by cedar waxwings and other early arrivers.
Staghorn Sumac — Its fuzzy red seed clusters provide reliable calories for migrating flocks.
Blackhaw Viburnum — Holds onto its fruit through winter, giving early birds a much-needed head start.
American Holly — Offers both long-lasting berries and dense evergreen cover for sheltering birds.
Purple Coneflower — Even after snow melts, its seed heads remain a favorite snack for finches.
Switchgrass — Tall stems packed with seeds attract sparrows and other ground-feeding species.
River Birch — Supports early-emerging insects, making it a magnet for warblers, chickadees, and other insect-loving birds.
