Our native gardens have been buzzing with life! We spotted all kinds of invertebrates making themselves at home among the flowers and foliage🍃

Native Gardens provide important food and habitat for countless insects, pollinators, and other small creatures. Sophia captured these garden visitors and logged her observations on iNaturalist help contribute to community science🔎

Every little visitor plays a role in a healthy ecosystem. What invertebrates have you spotted in your garden lately?

Not so fast! Before you start thinking about changing seasons and falling leaves, we’re taking a few more weeks to soak up the bounty of summer. 🌻

What a year of growth at TNP! From corn and tomatoes to beautiful native flowers popping up everywhere. We’re so grateful for our AmeriCorps Gardens & Grounds team and all our volunteers who have put in care for our gardens to grow this season.

What a joy it’s been to spend the summer together!☀️We shared so much, learned so much, jumped, ran, played, sang, and even wolf-howled everyday, and somehow, it’s already come to an end.

A huge thank-you to all of our summer day campers and guardians for making TNP Summer Day Camps the best in the county! We are so grateful for all the laughter and memories we shared this summer.
