Hummingbird Corridor
The Ruby-throated hummingbird….
…guides our focus on interdependence at the Herbal Hummingbird Hub, as they migrate thousands of miles from south of the Gulf of Mexico to mate and pollinate in our gardens every summer.
We are launching the Hummingbird Corridor Project to safeguard these tiny travelers along their entire migration route. Pollinator gardens — beginning at the Hub and extending throughout the corridor — will provide the nectar that sustains them, nurturing the medicine, food, and seed they help create.
Learning and stewardship on the ground
With a new project director at the helm, our team will bring hands-on programs to:
Community Gardens
Community Farms
School Gardens
Public Parks
Libraries
Faith-Based Groups
Garden Clubs
and other local gathering places
Why it matters
Healthy, protected landscapes are vital to the millions of birds that migrate twice a year. Plants form the foundation of every ecosystem, and pollinators such as hummingbirds are keystone species—supporting biodiversity far beyond their size. Ornithologist Sheri Williamson reminds us:
“As migratory birds, (hummingbirds) are part of Earth’s circulatory system, transporting energy and other resources between tropical and temperate ecosystems thousands of miles apart. As pollinators, they shape the landscapes they visit in these travels.”
- Hummingbirds of North America
When pollinators thrive, so does the wider web of life that we’re all part of and depend on every day.
Creating sanctuary gardens for hummingbirds, plants, and people is a powerful act of ecological and cultural resilience.
We envision hundreds of medicinal and flower gardens dotting these migration paths — places where communities can learn regenerative gardening, celebrate pollinators, share herbal medicine, and cultivate healing connections.
Donate today to help us hire our project director and bring the Hummingbird Corridor Project to life.
Our goal is $20,000 and through the generosity of one donor, the first $10,000 we raise will be matched dollar for dollar.
