I stumbled upon this little snake in the vegetable garden at the Tyler Arboretum last week. So clever! Stay tuned for more from the Tyler Arboretum tomorrow. They have a Magical Habitats exhibition coming up at the end of the month, and I got a sneak peek.

This snake totally inspires me to do something similiar in my garden. All the little kids in my neighborhood love to come to my garden and something like this would be a good lasting way to have them participate.
Th is kind of snake i can deal with!!!This is so whimsical and cute.
What fun for both kids AND adults! You could add to the fun by standing a long evergreen cone at the end to create a rattlesnake.
Hmmmmm ........ A snake? Are you sure he's not a very large caterpillar?? Looks like a Spicebush Swallowtail to me!
so excited you're going to feature Tyler; have wanted to visit it for ages.
best,

I too prefer to think of it as a caterpillar...just because I like them and am not a fan of snakes even if they are whimsical.
Definitely want to visit Tyler Arboretum, especially now that I've found out that it is in nearby PA and not Tyler, TX as I had first assumed.
