2. Consider the critters. You can even have your yard certified as a wildlife habitat! I've seen the signs in a few yards in my urban neighborhood, where we all have about an eight of an acre or less to work with!
Displaying your collections is always a great way to show off your unique interests and style. If you love birdhouses then I'd definitely recommend starting your own collection and showing them off in your yard or around your home.
If blue cows just aren't your thing, how about a whimsical collection of birdhouses for your cottage garden? Grouping similar objects/collections together will have a much bigger impact than one standing alone in the garden.
Winter is the perfect time to design next year's garden, be it a flower or vegetable garden. It's also an excellent time to dig through the seed catalogs and start planning your seed order. The time to get those seedlings going will be here before you know it.
What's a cottage garden without a birdhouse or two? They can be simply decorative, of course, but it doesn't take much to make one into a cozy home for a nest. Different birds have different nesting requirements, so choose a birdhouse style that will attract birds native to your area and keep them safe from predators. Check with a local pet store or birding group to find out more about what will work best for you.

Birdhouse villages. The only thing more fun than a single birdhouse is a swinging singles birdhouse community.
