Workshop Description:  Plant it and they will come!  Hummingbirds are arriving in Colorado and native plants provide both nectar and insects that are critical for their high-energy diet.  Join us for a new workshop designed to elevate your understanding of wild hummingbird diets and get tips and tricks for planting native wildflowers to support our local hummingbirds.  Workshop attendees will also receive a personalized tour of our hummingbird demonstration gardens and a resource list of native plants to support foraging hummers.

Workshop Instructor:  Kate Hogan, Community Outreach Manager for Denver Audubon and Colorado Native Plant Master
