In this week’s What’s Blooming, Georgiann Keller highlights the incredible blooms that are providing nectar and pollen for flying and crawling pollinators alike. As the weather gets cooler, we will begin to see the berries of the Toyon bushes turn bright red, just in time for the holidays. Also known as California Holly, the Toyon berry may be where Hollywood got its name. Make sure to listen to the audio blog as you scroll through the pictures below to learn more about what’s blooming in the Garden, then make sure to come see it all in person!
