#1Arb

There`s nothing quite like walking through our hummingbird garden on a quiet summer morning. Flowers are in bloom, butterflies flutter across your path, and hummingbirds stop to sip nectar from nearby firecracker plants. It feels like walking through a magical portal that leads you deeper into the Arboretum.
When you visit us next, we hope you pause to really take in your surroundings. Observe the plant life growing around you and notice how the wildlife interacts with it. See what flowers are in bloom and notice their vibrant color. Let your curiosity guide you to the next wonder of the garden.
Check the link in our bio to plan your visit today!

Have you ever seen a shallow depression in the earth and wondered what kind of wildlife may be responsible for it? It`s possible it belongs to a Sonoran Desert Tortoise! 🐢 These little divots are called pallets and are formed by these tortoises as a spot to hang out and cool off, especially during warm, summer months.
If you spot a wild tortoise, always give it and its habitat plenty of space. Only intervene if it`s in immediate danger. Together, we can keep wildlife wild!

We go nuts for jojoba plants!
Did you know that inside each seed is a liquid wax-like substance known as jojoba oil? It`s suprisingly rare to find this in nature, so they`re highly sought after in cosments and industrial lubricants.
Nature always has the most incredible and unexpected uses.

***Update: SOLD OUT***
This Friday is your LAST CHANCE to join a Critter Crawl! Explore the Arboretum after dark to see the critters that call our garden home. If you`re lucky, you may see:
🦂Scorpions
🦇Bats
🐸Toads
🕷️Spiders
🐍And more!
We only have THREE spots left. Register now before it`s too late!
Visit the link in our bio to reserve your spot.
Thinking about pruning your shrubs? Whatever you do, don`t give into the temptation of turning them into spheres!
Shearing a plant into a sphere actually destroys it`s structure. The thick, outer layer of leaves keeps sunlight from reaching the middle, causing the interior to hollow and die. It`ll attract more harmful insects, diseases, and reduce the amount of flowering.
Instead of excessive shearing, prune your shrub to match it`s natural shape. You`ll get a healthier plant with fuller, more beautiful blooms. 🪻
