Hummingbirds are probably one of my favorite birds to watch. They zip all around my garden visiting all my flowers. So when I am planning out my clients' designs, I always make sure to add plants that are hummingbird food such as salvias, heuchera, penstemon, fuschia, and ribes. Although these plants create quality food for hummingbirds in your garden, it can also be fun to add a hummingbird feeder to the mix. Watching hummingbirds at the feeder can be a delightful experience for the kid in all of us.
Hummingbird feeders (my hummingbird feeder) should be placed in a visible location to your windows (ie. outside your kitchen window, your child's room etc). Placing them in these locations will allow you to watch these birds often and fully enjoy the experience. You may find yourself having to refill the feeder often since hummingbirds will be visiting your feeder often. So how do you keep up? The cheapest and easiest way is to make your own nectar.
Enjoy!
