Late summer into early fall is when nature is busy stockpiling for the upcoming cooler months. This is the time when food sources are plenty as plants are either producing flowers full of pollen and nectar, or are in fruit. Insects take advantage of this and so do the birds that feed upon them. Pollinator Paradise is about the relationship that plants and insects have at Tyler.
We brought live tours back to help you explore Tyler and all the areas that our butterflies, bees and many others call paradise. Each tour is limited to small number of participants. Free to members. You can view these events on our calendar.
If you like to explore on your own, may we suggest downloading the video tours listed below on to your handheld or preview them at home first. Make sure you also grab our Visitor Map and Trail Map here.
