Forget the food dye and messy sugar water; invite a bit of magic into your garden, naturally. This class celebrates the wonder of hummingbirds, those bright, winged sparks that stitch color and motion through our summer landscapes. Discover the native plants that nourish them, the quiet perches where they rest, and the subtle habitat features that make your yard the perfect respite for these extraordinary birds.
Explore the fantastic selection of native perennials, their shapes, bloom times, and plant communities that help sustain hummingbirds in your backyard. You’ll learn how to design a small sanctuary that supports their nesting requirements and food sources while deepening your own connection to the natural rhythms of these nature’s most captivating species.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or upgrading an existing bed, you’ll leave with a clear, achievable plan. You’ll take home five proven native perennials and simple instructions so that you can create a thriving hummingbird habitat right away—no guesswork required.
Class price includes five plants.
