2025 Bird Habitat Pictures

Documenting Change Over Time

Seeing helps us believe. Or, in this case documents how the changes we make to our landscape matures and develops over time.

Whether you are adding just one plant or many, before and after photos often tell a story. We look forward to displaying and witnessing your stories in your gardens.

Explore before photos by state or province. If the state or province does not link out to a new page, we do not have images for that region, yet.
