“I was taking cuttings from the Garden's plumeria collection when my coworkers and I found a native tree frog sleeping in one of the flowers. He opened his sleepy eyes but didn't seem to mind at all that we were all watching him. It is always encouraging to see native wildlife,” shares Sara Chism, Lab & Nursery Propagation Associate.
