Bye Bye Birdies: Three Little Birds Missing
Board member Eric Mowery taught himself to crochet for last month's Color Storm event. He made a tree wrap and four of these extremely cute arugami birds. Three of these little guys didn't stick around for the end of the month. Since they can't fly, we're guessing a visitor couldn't resist taking them home.
Vandalism is rare in the Arboretum. We occasionally lose a string of lights in December. Sometimes people feel compelled to leave their mark on the gazebo or take a special plant from one of the bowl gardens. But overall, Arboretum visitors are respectful, and we're grateful for that. If Color Storm returns in 2025, there may even be more of these charming and cheerful birds to enjoy.
