The Second Half

It's March 2nd.  We are on the 2nd half of our stint here at BTA.  The irst half has been fun and interesting.  Every day is new.  New people to meet.  New plants to learn about.  Discovering more information about the plants we already are familiar with.  As member of the staff (even as volunteers) we are asked about the flora and fauna of the arboretum.  Randa and I try to learn as much as we can .  Randa spends much of her off time on her phone or the computer doing research on plants and animals.  Lately, she has researched hummingbirds, Verdins, Devils Cholla, and Ocotillo.  I guess we are just curious.

  The arboretum is gearing up for the semi-annual plant sale.  Tables are set up inside and outside and they are filling up with cacti and other desert plants.  The selection is large and amazing.  A busy two week period starting March 12th.  We will be doing whatever is necessary to help take care of the increased visitor load.
