Jeanine Gauen gave a presentation on “Hummingbirds in Our Area” at a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of Tryon.
Gauen, who is owner of the Garden Patch in Columbus and a member of the Foothills Association of Gardeners, has done considerable research on hummingbirds and shared many facts about the birds with the Rotarians. Her presentation attracted a lot of interest from those attending, which will hopefully result in more hummingbirds visiting the area this summer.
She is pictured with Judy Lair, who arranged the program.
