    Reminder: Tomorrow (Wednesday) we are closed! 

Last Wednesday, some of our team went to Winterthur to harvest Black Eyes Susan for our pollinator garden. Milkweed wasn’t ready yet (and yes, we had permission). And Julia, our membership coordinator, found a grasshopper — she’s also an entomologist!

    Betsy is an American Toad (Anaxyrus
americanus). So is this model. Betsy is the
more active of the two.

When feeding, these toads keep still to
avoid predators. Only their long sticky
tongues dart out to grab insects. A hungry
raccoon or snake that tries to ear the toad
will find out that it tastes terrible.
