SCARECROWS

"Hungry birds have always been a problem for farmers.
Sometimes the birds ate so much corn or wheat that a farmer and his family
would not have enough food to last through the winter. So, for more than
3,000 years, farmers have been making scarecrows."

"The
first scarecrows in recorded history were made along the Nile River in Egypt, to protect
wheat fields from flocks of quail. Egyptian farmers put wooden frames in
their fields and covered them with nets. The farmers hid in the fields
and scared the quail into the nets. Then they took them home and ate them
for dinner!"

I met Fern at Powell Gardens,
at the 2013 Scarecrows in the Gardens exhibit.
Throughout October, you'll find
30-some scarecrows
on patrol in the Heartland Harvest Garden.
The
entries range from minions to Minnie Mouse to more traditional takes and
were created by Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, individuals, businesses and
Powell Gardens' staff and volunteers.
