The Tryon Garden Club has invited Jeanine Gauen to share her experience on How to Attract Hummingbirds to Your Backyard. The program begins at 1 p.m. at the American Red Cross in Columbus on Wednesday, March 17. The address is 231 Ward Street, Columbus. This program is open to the public at no charge.

Gauen is a self-taught hummingbird enthusiast who has dedicated her entire twenty plus years of gardening to attracting these unique birds. She has been sharing her passion by educating community organizations for over 10 years.
