A TRUE SURVIVOR
Moss is an ancient plant. It can be found all around the world and dates back 450 million years! They lack true roots and anchor themselves to surfaces with filaments called rhizoids, which lets them absorb water and nutrients. Mosses are vital to the ecosystem as well. A colonizer plant, moss is one of the very first to regrow after a habitat is disturbed. It stabilizes soil and retains water, allowing other plants to return.

Take a walk around Tyler and you'll find moss communities everywhere. In January, their bright green colonies give us hope of more green to come, and serve as a reminder that even on the coldest days, we can find hope in the growing world. Come out for a visit, and see what mosses you can find!

TREE ARCHITECTURE Some folks nestle inside all win

TREE ARCHITECTURE
Some folks nestle inside all winter, dreaming about their gardens, while others head outdoors and enjoy the glories of the season. Not only is there surprising color in the Arboretum right now, but winter gives you a chance to enjoy the architecture of the landscape. After the leaves have fallen, you can appreciate the scale of our trees, such as this smaller magnolia in the foreground and its larger cousin in the back. You can also look at bark up-close, and see all the different types, from smooth beech (Fagus sp.) to the dramatic exfoliating bark of three-flower maple (Acer triflorum) and river birch (Betula nigra). Savvy gardeners know there's so much to see at this wondrous time of year. Come on out to Tyler this weekend and see what wonderful surprises you'll discover!

HOW HAVE BIRDS HELPED YOU THIS YEAR? Birds do so

HOW HAVE BIRDS HELPED YOU THIS YEAR?
Birds do so much for us. Their songs bring music to the forest, their antics at feeders make us laugh, and in-flight they are a joy to behold. They have long been symbols of hope, and we're grateful for their presence in our gardens this year and every year. How have birds helped you this year? Let us know in the comments below.
