Few garden visitors are as exciting as hummingbirds. They can appear seemingly out of nowhere, hovering in front of flowers before darting away again in a flash of color. Despite their tiny size, they bring a huge amount of energy and movement to a yard, and for many gardeners, spotting the season’s first hummingbird is one of the highlights of early summer.
The good news is that attracting hummingbirds doesn't require a complete garden makeover. These birds are primarily looking for three things: food, water, and places to rest. By making a few simple changes to your outdoor space, you can create an environment that encourages them to stop by regularly throughout the season.
