The luna moths get plenty of attention, but can we appreciate the caterpillars for a minute too? Bright green and covered in colorful little bumps, they're well on their way to being wonderfully chunky!
Come see these hungry caterpillars at the Pollinator Preserve!
A little summer rain can make the trees greener, the gardens fresher, and a walk through the Arboretum feel like an entirely different experience.
As an arboretum, Tyler is all about celebrating and caring for trees. Some are rare, some are historic, and some are simply beautiful.
The next time you're here, take a moment to admire all the different trees. You might discover a new favorite.
Staff favorite! The prickly pear is blooming. 🌵💛 It's hard not to love a plant that looks this tough and then produces flowers this beautiful.
These cheerful yellow flowers are one of the highlights of early summer. Have you seen them in bloom yet?
Let's play a game. 🐸👀 How many frogs can you spot in the second photo? Let us know how many you found!

Part of the fun of exploring Tyler is stumbling upon small moments and quiet corners you weren’t expecting. Look for this cozy little cove near Lucille’s Garden on your next visit.
A little spring rain and suddenly everything feels extra green. 🌿💧 The soft needles of the golden larch were covered in raindrops this week, catching the light in the prettiest way after a few rainy days at Tyler.
