Designing for Hummingbirds: Plants & Planter Demo
July 18 @ 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
What is that little jewel hovering around my fuchsias? A hummingbird?! How do I get more? How do I keep them humming, and coming, and well fed? Do they really eat spiders? Should I be feeding them spiders? I don’t want to do that, what can I plant to keep them powered?
Join Jess Conley, TBG Horticulturist, as she takes you through all of these questions and more, to help keep you and your hummingbirds friends happy and flappy. We’ll explore if hummingbird feeders are right for you, and the best plants (not just red) to bring all the hummingbirds to your yard.
Jess will demonstrate creating a hummingbird planter that you can use in your backyard or balcony. The planter will be raffled off to a lucky participant!
Apartment/condo dwellers are welcome. Hummingbirds fly high and love to visit these urban environments too!
Friday, July 18 from 10:30 AM-12:00 PM
Registration: Public $20, TBG Members $15 (plus applicable taxes and fees)
