Learn more about the species of hummingbirds seen in Texas, and how to attract them to your landscape in this free class.

Want to learn more about the fascinating hummingbirds? One of our most popular presentations, Carolyn Oldham and Jerri Kerr walk you through creating proper habitat with appropriately chosen plants to attract not only the native, but also the many visiting hummingbirds that we have in North Texas. They'll also show you the plants available right now, and help you understand the elements needed in your own landscape to sustain hummingbirds. (Hint: It's more than sugar water). Arrive early for the best seat, and learn how to be prepared for the spring and fall migrations of this valued pollinator! NOTE: THIS CLASS IS INDOORS IN OUR CLASSROOM.
