A window into the garden, for anyone who needs one.
Four live cameras on hummingbird feeders in a Southern California native garden. Watch, rest, and keep company with others doing the same.
Live feeders, all day
Four cameras in different parts of the garden — sun, shade, native sage, and the patio close-up. Hummingbirds visit every few minutes.
A rotating art gallery
Photographs, paintings, and drawings made by people watching this garden. Filter by type, species, or the camera that inspired it.
Quiet company
A gentle chat sidebar for noticing things together. Read along freely, or sign in to say something.
Why this exists
This project was built for people who can't easily get outside — because of chronic illness, disability, recovery, or circumstance. Spending time with nature, even through a screen, seems to help. We wanted to make that easier.
It's also a research study. If you sign up, you can complete a one-time anonymous survey about whether watching helps you. Your answers are never linked to your account — anonymity is built into the database itself.
