Progress on our community garden projects are going great! We have gathered all materials and finished construction on the birdhouse and our feeders. Kyle and I were about to get some scrap plywood from Lowes for only 27 cents!! This was a great success because we are trying to aviod buying materials and using as many recycled items as possible. :) The plastic bottles we are using for the bird feeders are also recycled. We dug through the bins at Arts West and gathered some extras to use. The wooden spoons for the feeders have been primed and painted with the matching blue pain that is located in the community garden fence.. so everything will match! The birdhouse is primed and will be painted by moi sometime this week. We haven't decided as a group what is going to be on the birdhouse yet, but it will probably be some kind of abstract pattern because we only have 2 different colors. Installation will happen on Sunday and everyone should have their projects up by Monday! Now we just have to wait for the wildlife to come enjoy their re-vamped place!!
Here are a few links to some early ideas I had for feeders/birdhouses:
