Hummingbird Gardens

Hummingbird gardens are designed specifically to attract hummingbirds by incorporating plants that produce nectar-rich flowers, as well as providing shelter and perches. Common plants used in hummingbird gardens include bee balm, salvia, and trumpet vine, which produce tubular flowers that hummingbirds prefer. These gardens can be integrated into larger landscape designs or created as dedicated spaces with a mix of flowering perennials, shrubs, and vines. In addition to plants, hummingbird gardens often include feeders and water features to support the birds. The design of a hummingbird garden focuses on providing continuous blooms throughout the growing season, ensuring a steady food source for these migratory birds. Hummingbird gardens not only support the conservation of these small, vibrant birds but also add dynamic movement and color to the landscape.
