Hundreds of thousands of ash trees in North Texas are under threat from a small and unassuming beetle: the emerald ash borer (EAB). The half-inch-long insect may look harmless, but anyone with an ash on their property should take action now to protect their trees.
The hot days of summer have returned, and most Texans have retreated inside to the AC and ceiling fans. But just because you’re camped out on the sofa doesn’t mean you can take your mind on an outdoor adventure. Here are books recommended by the Garden’s educators that spark the imaginations and fuel the minds of your kids this summer.
Every year, the research team adopts a few special plants as a focus for study and conservation, especially for the student interns who join the Garden every summer. This year, interns and their mentors are paying special attention to two plants, a wildflower native to Texas and a rare and remarkable native orchid, Meanwhile a third intern is investigating fungi growing in the Garden itself.
Imagine how bland life would be without herbs and spices. Chinese food without ginger. Thanksgiving dressing without sage. Ice cream without vanilla. Explore this colorful world at “Spice of Life,” the Garden’s current art exhibit, on display at the Madeline R. Samples Exhibit Hall.
