Creating a Hummingbird Garden by using a diversity of plantings and garden techniques to attract them to your garden. Hummingbirds are important pollinators as well as adding entertainment and meaning to your landscape.

4 steps

1.Plant nectar and pollen rich flowers– Provide a variety of heights of plants so they meander while feeding. Hummingbirds like all colors- primarily brighter colored and typically tubular in shape. See examples below.​

2.Go Organic– Say no to pesticides and chemical fertilizers (at least limit the use) Avoid harmful chemical use in the yard and herbicides whenever possible.  

3.Provide Shelter- Hedge row, trees, hollow trees. Provide nest boxes, nesting material.
