Putting up a hummingbird feeder is one thing, but watching them build up their own nests from scratch in your garden is something else
Even if birdwatching isn’t your thing, you can’t help but smile at hummingbirds as they flit from flower to flower.
And did you know that you can provide them with all the material they need right in your garden
That’s right, if you grow nest-building plants for hummingbirds, you’ll make your yard their favorite place for nesting.
Don’t worry, all of them are beautiful flowers and shrubs that will make your garden pretty and cheerful
I know you might find this strange because we usually eliminate thistles with herbicides, but hear me out.
While some thistles can be invasive, many native varieties are great for your garden. For example, field thistle produces nectar that attracts hummingbirds
Hummingbirds need to eat every 10 minutes to stay energized, so having thistles nearby makes life easier for them
