Hi, I'm Birdie, the spokes chicken for birdieshappyplants.com. I imagine you are wondering what makes a plant happy anyway? (And probably why is a chicken growing plants in the first place, but that is another story. Birdie's plants have been "brought up right", given just the right amount of fertilizer (not too much) and water (not too much) and proper soil (acidic, well drained). Birdie's Happy Plants are not over fertilized plants that grew too fast. No, no, no those would not survive the cold. Your plant thrived through at least four Michigan winters.

care and cultivation of the beautiful plants. My skills were soon recognized
by the proprietor and I was promoted to head grower. Now that we have
flown to new heights going cyber with a website and all, who better
to represent birdieshappyplants.com than me!
