Tiny cuttings, big impact.
Every plant you see here started from just a snip — carefully cleaned, dipped, and rooted with care. Propagation isn’t just practical. It’s powerful. It helps us grow more plants for pollinators, restoration, and education — all while conserving precious resources.
But we can’t do it alone. Your support helps us expand our propagation efforts and grow the future of this garden.
t’s the final day of the Go Public Gardens Days Photo Scavenger Hunt—and we’re going out with a buzz!
Today’s challenge: spot some busy bees buzzing around the spring blooms and snap a photo or quick video of them in action.
Pollinators play a vital role in our ecosystem—let’s celebrate them!
Tag your post with #GoPublicGardensDays #GoPublicGardens #1Arb to wrap up the hunt and share the buzz!
Day 9 of the Go Public Gardens Days Photo Scavenger Hunt is here—and it’s time to get the inside scoop!
Ask a staff member at Boyce Thompson Arboretum what their favorite spring bloom is, then snap a pic of it for today’s challenge.
You’ll see the garden through their eyes—and maybe find a new favorite too.
