Many plants go dormant during the winter, but the Sea Squill does the opposite! When temperatures start to rise and water becomes less available, this plant sheds its leaves and conserves energy until conditions become more favorable.
During its flowering cycle, the Sea Squill attracts insect pollinators like bees and butterflies, giving it an important role in the pollination cycle!

Insects are some of the most well-known pollinators in the world! Bees alone are responsible for pollinating nearly one-third of what we eat. Other pollinating insects include butterflies, moths, flies, and even beetles.
You can support these little creatures by planting pollinator-friendly native plants in your garden. Stop by our Visitors Center to explore our selection!

Its Pollinator Week! 🐝🦇🦋🕊 Follow along this week as we share fun facts and photos of our favorite pollinators.
What is Pollinator Week? It`s an annual celebration initiated and managed by @pollinatorpartnership! You can celebrate by growing pollinator-friendly plants in your garden, attending workshops, and spreading awareness using the hashtag #PollinatorWeek on social media.
Another great way to celebrate is by simply observing pollinators in their natural habitat right here at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. While you`re here, stop by the Visitors Center to find the perfect pollinator-friendly plant for you.

Happy Father`s Day to all the dads in the world! (Including the ones found in nature.)
Did you know that around 80% of bird species practice biparental care? The Northern Cardinal is a great example. While the female builds the nest, incubates the eggs, and helps feed the chicks, the male defends the nest from predators and gathers food for both mom and babies.
Together they make an excellent team, proving that great dads come in every form.

Go touch some grass. No really! Growing grass is a great way to add color and movement to your garden.
We recommending planting native grasses, such as purple three-awn, as they need less water to survive. Purple three-awn also provides forage for wildlife and shelter for small mammals, reptiles, and native bees.
Next time you visit Boyce Thompson Arboretum, stop by the Visitor`s Center to get recommendations on the best grass for your garden!
