Last week I received an email from Dana who writes a blog called Catnip and Mint. She sent a few photos along with a short write-up about her new hummingbird haven, and I thought you guys would enjoy it. The most remarkable part of it all is that she’s only been working on it for a year! Check it out…
Yeah, it’s a YEAR. That’s it. Gorgeous, right? I could tell you all about this space, but I think she put it best:
The backyard consists mainly of salvias and lavenders, with a few citrus trees and a lovely mesquite. The garden is visited heavily by hummingbirds, and is buzzing with bees, butterflies, and lizards. I have escorted a large and destructive grasshopper off the property numerous times– but recently had the sense to place numerous water bowls/bird baths in each of the garden beds to attract more birds to linger…and eat grasshoppers.

I love the picture she painted; the hummingbirds and butterflies that frequent the yard sound lovely! I can’t wait until they start coming back to my own garden (which, I have to say, is a far cry from being anything close to this great.) Anyway, thank you, Dana, for sharing your yard with us! I’m sure everyone here will love it as much as I do. –erin
If you have a landscape makeover that you’d like to share, feel free to send us an email along with a few photos!
