It’s an active time in the Garden, not just with new blooms but for wildlife as well. Now is an active time for butterflies as well as fig-eating beetles. Take a listen to Georgiann Keller’s latest audio blog below to find out where she spotted these interesting species in the Garden this week. If you’re not one for taking a chance to spot wildlife, our new exhibit SOAR – Monarch Migration opens in our butterfly pavilion on October 1 and our Member Presale is now live!
