How Many Species Can You Find in the UH Biodiversity Garden?

Our community Biodiversity Gardens along the parkway on Meade Ave. and in the Birney joint-use field are in full bloom! Stop by and challenge yourself to identify as many species of plants and animals in the garden as possible. To help you identify what you are seeing, use an app such as Seek or iNaturalist to help you identify the species. Plants with flowers are the easiest to identify as the flowers are usually unique among each species. The native plants in the Biodiversity Garden are maintained by a volunteer crew every Second Saturday of the month. Please join us on Sat., April 11, from 8 to 11 a.m. for our next event! 

Our team has been working hard to make UH more beautiful with drought- tolerant native plants, and the results have been amazing! But they can do so much more, and so can you!
