Looking for a creative and relaxing way to spend time with friends or family? Join us for Hummingbird Flights: Make Your Own Feeder, where you’ll create and decorate your own hummingbird feeder from a recycled wine bottle, sip seasonal wines and learn tips for attracting these delightful pollinators to your garden. This workshop, happening Saturday, November 9, from 2 to 3:30 p.m., is perfect for anyone looking to add a splash of life to their garden while enjoying a little paint-and-sip fun!
Much like a classic paint-and-sip class, Hummingbird Flights is all about letting loose and having fun with friends. Guests will receive three 3-oz wine tasters to enjoy as you personalize your feeder with a unique design. Skilled instructors will guide you through the feeder-making process and offer pro tips on mixing up the best hummingbird nectar and which flowers will bring even more of these amazing creatures to your garden. It’s a hands-on way to learn about hummingbirds and their favorite blooms while creating something special to take home.
This class is designed to bring a little extra joy to your outdoor space while giving you insider tips on creating a hummingbird haven. As you sip and paint, you’ll learn the basics of feeder maintenance and how to keep the hummingbirds coming back for more. Not only will you make a feeder that looks beautiful in your garden, but you’ll also help support the pollinator population.
“This workshop is one of my favorites because it really connects people to the Garden in a unique way,” says Claire Griswold, the Garden’s Learning and Engagement Manager. “When you walk through our 87 acres, you’ll almost always see hummingbirds flying around. Now, you can learn more about these beautiful creatures while creating your own unique feeder. And you don’t have to be a professional painter, you can go as big or as small as you’d like and you’ll still leave with a feeder to attract them to your own yard and new knowledge!”
So, grab a friend or family member and come share in the fun! The workshop is $36 for Members and $40 for non-members, and includes all materials, Garden Admission and three wine tasters. Whether you’re a garden enthusiast or just looking for a unique afternoon out, Hummingbird Flights is the perfect way to relax, create, and learn together. Cheers to hummingbirds, creativity and a wonderful time!
