Mr. Twister and the Tale of Tornado Alley
Through the power of his magic telescope, Mr. Twister can see just about everything—except the family reunion of the North and South winds that is about to create a cyclone in Tornado Alley! Come to the Arboretum's Bradley Rose Garden for an operatic adventure—of global proportions—about science and climate. Join us at noon for the show or come before the show to make puppets your child can use during the performance.

There are not many other places where I could study such a diverse group of species. I love having such an exceptional collection next door to the lab, and despite spending so much time in the landscape, I still keep finding wonderful new spots with plants from around the world.

For me, the Arboretum has both tangible and intangible impacts. As a scientist, I see the concrete potential our collections have for addressing important questions about biological diversity, changing climate, species interactions, and more. As someone who has spent hours simply wandering through the landscape, I know the impact this space can have on my sense of well-being, wonder, and connection with the world around me.

My title is Horticulturist, but I would probably characterize my role here as being the caretaker to the roses, living mulch specialist, and native plant enthusiast. The Arnold has an incredible history of plant-loving people that I really relate to. I feel lucky to work here and look forward to it every day.
