The Fascinating World of Hummingbirds

The Garden Club of Johnstown presents this first seminar at the Sandyvale Greenhouse.  Hummingbirds have been a wonder to behold with their tiny colorful bodies and rapid wing speed.  In this seminar, we will begin with the needs of all birds and then focus on native hummingbirds of Pennsylvania.  We will discuss the various species seen in Pennsylvania, their fall and spring migration, specific plants that attract them and the role that feeders have in their survival.  During the seminar workshop, all participants will make their own hummingbird feeder from a recycled wine bottle.  Participants will be free to paint their own designs or use some easy painting tips to make it their own.  Participants may want to bring their own pliers.
