New Partnership with Journey North
Monarchs and hummingbirds have two things in common. They
both travel hundreds of miles each year to breed in the US and
Canada and overwinter in Mexico and Latin America. And they
need nectar from flowers to fuel their migration journeys. You can
help fuel their journeys by planting nectar rich plants.
This year, the Friends of the Arboretum Native Plant Sale is proud to
partner with Journey North and Two Ferns Native Nursery to offer
you two Citizen Science Kits. Journey North, an exciting new citizen

Rain Garden Mix Plant a beautiful, colorful rain garden in a wide,
shallow depression to collect rainwater. The roots of these plants will
help the water soak into the soil instead of running off. Rain garden

of drought. This garden mix includes plants such as Marsh Milkweed,
New England Aster, Fox Sedge, Wild Iris, Dense Blazingstar, Great Blue
Lobelia, Black-Eyed Susan, and Blue Vervain.
