Big Thank You!


Thank you to all 10 TEENs that attended the Butterfly Pavilion Training this past Saturday! I hope to see you all in yellow shirts soon!

Also, thank you to Aija, Monica, Diego, Alexander and Marcus for volunteering at the Butterfly Exploration Station this past weekend. There was rain, wind and flying canopies but you did a wonderful job!

The Spring Butterfly Pavilion opens Saturday, March 5th!

Congrats Anna!


The winner of the free Teen Glass Class ticket is Anna M. Thank you again, to all the TEENs that took the online survey. This survey provides essential data for evaluation and analysis of the TEEN Volunteer Program at the Desert Botanical Garden. Your responses also help us adequately document our program’s impact with teens and in the community for donor reports and future funding requests.

Service Learning Project

Thank you to Alexander, Maddie, Taylor, Matt, and Marcus that participated at last Saturday's adopt-a-park Service Learning Project. You did a great job filling in holes, picking up trash, raking, weeding, rescuing lizards, and having fun! You really made a positive difference for everyone that uses the trail.

Please look for future adopt-a-park events this year!

Gardening in January

Thank you to Monica, Ernesto, Diego, Taylor, Alexander, Marcus, and Alejandra for all of your hard work tending the Pumpkin Patch Garden last Sunday!

You did an amazing job and the beds are ready for a Spring planting! The transplants are doing well and enjoying the shade in the TEEN Garden.
