Visit Hummingbird Gardens in Sedona

Our Hummingbird Gardens tour offers six unique gardens for you to visit. See their descriptions below. We selected these particular gardens for their beauty and variety, and for the owners’ dedication to being good stewards for the local hummingbird population.

A reminder that as wild creatures, the hummingbirds are on their own schedule. If they don’t happen to be present in a particular garden when you are, you can still enjoy exploring the possibilities for creating outdoor living spaces that appeal to both humans and hummingbirds.

The gardens are located in Central and West Sedona and Cornville. Because several of the gardens have extremely limited parking, we have arranged a hop-on hop-off shuttle to take you to them — no need to worry about parking, directions, or traffic. Your ticket gives you access to the gardens and the shuttle on both Saturday and Sunday. With hummingbirds most active early in the morning, the gardens will open at 6:30am and close at noon. The first shuttles will leave the SPAC parking lot at 6:20am and the last shuttles will leave at 11:30am.

Tickets good for both days: $55 if purchased online in advance; $60 in person at the Festival

Garden Descriptions

A Enchanting Backyard Constructed with Love

Literally built from the ground up, this garden in Central Sedona features a wide variety of hummingbird plants as well as beautiful Sedona views.  The owners built the garden gradually and thoughtfully, improving the soil and slowly adding plants to create a meandering blend of natural elements.  Many feeders in and around the garden ensure plenty of hummingbird visitors!

Riparian Hummingbird Hotel

Located almost adjacent to Oak Creek, this property attracts a wide variety of birds and wildlife.  Featuring its own pond, hummingbird-attracting plants, and a wealth of feeders for hummingbirds and other birds, it offers plenty of opportunity for you to enjoy the cool shade, large trees and plentiful birds and hummingbirds.  Homeowners Rich and Nanette Armstrong are happy to help you identify the various species you may see.

A Mature Family Garden

This garden’s owner purchased the home with her husband in 1996, “not because it had a magical irrigation ditch running through, but because it was the only home in the area that would accommodate a family with six kids, a goat, and two dogs.” The once barren landscape has morphed over the years, thanks to the abundant water flowing from the irrigation ditch. Birds of all types sing, perch, and nest in mature trees, and you will likely see hummingbirds this summer beckoned by a small field of wildflowers for all to enjoy.

Tiny Water

Known as Tiny Water, Bernadette Bezich’s well established lush garden is filled with vines, flowers, ornaments, and many many hummingbirds. A long-time favorite with hummingbird photographers, this location is sure to inspire you to just take a deep breath, smile, and enjoy the beauty.

Wildlife Central

This 1/2 acre garden in Cornville is a new site for the Sedona Hummingbird Festival.  It is adjacent to national forest, so it gets many wildlife visitors. In addition to a wide variety of hummingbird plants, fruit trees, and a vegetable garden,  it also features a charming pond and sitting area.  In addition to a large population of hummingbirds, the garden attracts orioles, cardinals, and woodpeckers.  There is even a pair of resident screech owls!
