Imagine you’re a chickadee designing a garden. What would it look like? When you’re a tiny, primarily insect-eating bird that nests in tree cavities, beautiful flowers and a well-manicured lawn are low on your list of priorities.

2018 was a great year for birds here at the Arboretum.

Why does the Arboretum get so many fall migrant birds? Because we have a lot of native plants!
