It is nice to see a website that is specific to the Buffalo/Niagara region. I garden specifically for hummingbirds and also moderate an online forum for Hummingbird gardeners with members throughout the US, Canada and Central America. How about a section on Hummingbird Gardening. There is very little accurate information available in our area on attracting and feeding hummingbirds and most of what is available is limited or incorrect.

Just received your card from Kelly Marion who i work with. I just revamped my garden and pond in time for the Lancaster Garden Walk after a negative statement from my husband. I have been working non-stop for 6 weeks and happy to be part of the Lancaster Garden walk.
Congrats on the new mag! The best to you on this wonderful venture. I know I’ll enjoy reading!!
