It’s a great opportunity to see some pretty amazing hummingbird biology.” \nIn celebration of this special time of year\, we invite you to visit the garden as much as possible! \nSee our webpage for a schedule of activities and more information about hummingbirds and the abundance of plants at the Arboretum that attract them. \nWe will also feature hummingbird merchandise and hummingbird attracting plants at our gift shop and nursery. Visit Norrie’s Gift & Garden Shop\, Tuesdays thru Sundays from 10 – 4. For more information visit: https://arboretum.ucsc.edu/shop/index.html \nAll events are free with paid admission: Adults: $10\, Seniors $8 and Youth 4-17 $5. Rain cancels outdoor activities. \nCurrent members are always free and enjoy other great benefits year-round!
