Hang some hummingbird feeders around your garden. Place a bit of distance between them, to avoid the squabbles, which can be quite a sight! Powdered “food” formula is available, but you can easily make your own by combining one part sugar to four parts water, and boiling it for two minutes, then cooling and storing in the fridge. Never use honey, which can ferment, or red dye, which can be harmful to the birds.
