The Birds & the Bees
Unveiled in June, the Pollinator and Bird Garden at The Arboretum at Penn State has been lovingly constructed as a welcoming home for Pennsylvania’s many pollinators—bees, butterflies, beetles, flies, and the ruby-throated hummingbird, the region’s only vertebrate pollinator. The 3-acre space incorporates a variety of soil types, a vibrant array of more than 350 plants to ensure broad biodiversity, and both wet and dry habitats where songbirds can feed, bathe, and nest. And it might be the prettiest place at University Park.
