Autumn Harvest in the Community Garden
A traditional straw scarecrow stands amid autumn vegetable beds near a small garden shed. Nearby rests a woven basket filled with fallen leaves along with a long-handled garden rake used for clearing garden paths.
History and Science of Farm Scarecrows
Farmers have constructed artificial human figures for thousands of years to deter birds from eating freshly planted seeds and ripening crops. The scent of old clothing combined with loose straw movement in the wind tricks crows and blackbirds into avoiding garden patches. Today, scarecrows often serve as decorative markers of the fall harvest season in community gardens.
