Plant for Hummingbirds & Butterflies: A Recap from the Wildlife Jewels’ World Soil Day Planting Event at Castaways Park in Newport Beach!
Such an inspiring day! A huge thank you to everyone who joined Wildlife Jewels for our Plant for Hummingbirds & Butterflies Celebration at Castaways Park in Newport Beach. Your participation made a significant impact, contributing to the planting of native flowers that serve as essential nourishment for our beloved pollinators!
On Sunday, December 8th, Wildlife Jewels hosted a community planting event at Newport Beach's Castaways Park, uniting nature enthusiasts to support local hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and other vital pollinators. Your participation made a significant impact, contributing to the planting of native flowers that serve as essential nourishment for our beloved pollinators! Our goal was to raise awareness about precious pollinators through the arts, enhance the city's natural beauty with vibrant blooms, and promote wildlife conservation. Thanks to the dedication and generosity of our supporters, we successfully planted approximately 135 pollinator-friendly plants!
Throughout the event, we planted native flowers that attract and sustain hummingbirds, shared educational information about the importance of native plants, and highlighted incredible facts about hummingbirds and the innovations inspired by them. Attendees learned about the threats these tiny birds face and ways they can help protect them. We also showcased artwork inspired by a special hummingbird and monarch butterfly we helped rescue, sharing their stories and recounting the tale of a hummingbird we had the privilege of caring for.
A highlight of the event was the visit from two precious rescued Hummingbirds, brought by Cindi, ifoundahummingbird.com wildlife rehabilitation. Everyone had the chance to learn about the hummingbird’s journey and recovery story, making the day even more memorable.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined and supported us in making this special event possible!
We’ll soon be sharing more details about the flowers we planted, the hummingbird & butterfly educational materials we presented, the precious rescued hummingbirds we had the delight of seeing, and the beautiful hummingbird & butterfly artwork we showcased! Stay tuned for more updates!
We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
