Dear $$firstname$$
Very soon, you’ll be receiving the April/May issue of Birds & Blooms with a cover that YOU helped choose. A couple months back, we invited you to pick your favorite cover photo for this issue, and the bluebird in flight (at left) was the big winner!
This is just the type of interaction with readers that we’re hoping these Web Plus newsletters will make easier…and quicker! We currently have a new survey out, asking for your bird stories. We’re looking for stories related to six specific birds. Take the survey now.
In the meantime, we’re bringing you even more great content with this Plus newsletter. We have a great Spring Container Recipe, perfect for window boxes. Then learn about Soil Tricks you can do to grow blue or pink hydrangeas. And if you want great trees, be sure to check out these 10 Trees for Birds and Butterflies.
Robin Arnold took some great photos in this issue of her backyard pond. To see even more amazing shots, visit our Pond Spectacular feature. Finally, you don’t want to miss our Amazing Bluebird Bits. We hope you’ll find something in there that you didn’t know before!
Thanks for sharing your stories and ideas with us. We hope you enjoy the issue!
