Hummingbird
HAVEN

Learn techniques to make your Virginia garden a welcoming stop for hummingbirds all year long! Dive into practical advice for creating a hummingbird garden that offers a safe, supportive environment with proper food sources, perching spots, and shelter. We will highlight native Virginia plants alongside design and care tips, resulting in a garden robust enough to provide for hummingbirds throughout the dormant season. Each student will also receive specialized consultation from native plant expert Kaity Bevenour to build a custom Parallel Nursery mix-and-match pack of six native perennial plants to take home!

Students should bring note-taking supplies and be prepared to plant new plants received shortly after class (within a few days). Plants will be taken home in a compostable cardboard carrying case with no plastic containers. Please be aware that due to the porosity of the compostable container, your plants may need supplemental water if not planted within 24 hrs.
