Conservation
Hummingbird health depends on clean feeders and fresh nectar—regular cleaning prevents disease. Visitors are encouraged to support local conservation groups that monitor native plant restoration and bird habitat in the region.

Book ahead during summer

Wear washable clothes or bring a smock
Hydro-dipping uses spray paints that can stain; protect clothing and pack a small bag for your finished piece.
Plan for drying time
Allow extra time after the class for sealant to cure before transporting the feeder to avoid smudges or sticking.
Place feeders responsibly at home
Hang the feeder in partial shade and clean it regularly to prevent mold and protect visiting hummingbirds.
Old shirt or smock
Protects clothing from paint and sealant during hydro-dipping.
Small carry bag
Keeps your finished feeder upright and protected for travel home.
Smartphone or camera
