I am looking to put a little "patch" of something in my yard. Maybe an area of bird houses, feeders, a bath, a little rock thing or flowers or something. Nothing too elaborate or requiring daily upkeep and weeding, but a little something to attract birds and be pleasant to the eye.
I have an area not very far from my house and business and in front of a little creek that cardinals seem to hang out around anyway. It seems like a good spot, but I know nothing about landscaping.

Is there a site with ideas that would be suited for my climate and what I hope to achieve? I am looking to dress up the area around my house and business and would like to add something, I just don't know what or how to go about starting something without wasting my efforts.

Thanks for any ideas or reference points.
