Attracting Hummingbirds to your Garden

Donald Mitchell

Donald Mitchell obtained an M.S. degree in Conservation Biology at the University of Minnesota and has conducted field studies of hummingbirds and the plants they pollinate in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Colorado and California.  He is a federally-permitted hummingbird bander and serves as Vice President of the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.  As a Goodhue County Master Gardener, Donald attracts hundreds of hummingbirds annually to his garden near the Mississippi River in Red Wing.

Join us at this Dinner at the Lake as Donald gives you strategies for turning your yard into a hummingbird haven.  In addition to providing specific recommendations of plants that work to attract hummingbirds to Minnesota gardens, he will also provide insights regarding hummingbird biology that will help you understand why some ideas for attracting hummingbirds work, while others fail.

Our Mission:
To protect, improve and promote the enjoyment of the
natural environment through formal and informal
education programs and research; to assist and encourage
environmental education programs, centers, and careers.

Our Vision:
The environment is the blackboard for the Center's
educational programs; the common ground that brings us
together with the natural world and people from around
the globe to share our concerns for one another and the
future. It is through positive and shared experience that
we hope we can affect the values and actions of our
people to create a world of harmonious diversity.
