What a perfect time to attend the North Central Louisiana Master Gardener Garden Seminar!!

He has produced a number of science programs on wildlife that have been used by schools, civic groups, garden clubs and television. One of the most popular of these programs is about hummingbirds. With his photography and study of hummingbirds, Bob has become a local expert on how to attract ruby-throated hummingbirds to our Southern gardens.
