Chickadee Gardens began in 2016 as a dream and two blank acres. Now on this adventure, we have established both sun and shade garden plantings as well as a large vegetable garden and small orchard. We raise honey bees and chickens and have a turkey named Sweet Pea. Our focus is native plantings but we also love (non-invasive) ornamentals. Sustainable gardening is our goal. Changes occur regularly but the focus remains: this garden is for the chickadees (and bees, and bugs, and husband, and cats, chickens, turkey and…)
