Hort Shorts
- Plants and garden wildlife will appreciate a discarded Christmas tree. Lay trimmed branches over plantings for cold-protection. Or lay the entire tree in a corner of the back yard to provide shelter for birds and rabbits. You can anchor the tree upright near a bird feeder to provide perches—smear branches with peanut butter or suet as an extra treat.
- Place a glass or pan of water near houseplants. The water will provide humidity as it evaporates.
