The gardens of The President’s House and the neighboring gardens of the Arboretum and Japan House attract an abundance of local wildlife. More than eleven species of butterflies have been observed in the area and countless other pollinators like bees, hummingbirds, moths and bats make their home here. On sunny days, it is not unusual to see six or more groundhogs grazing in the Backyard. This winter, a particularly attractive fox was seen patrolling the Kidney Beds and south walkway. In any sort of weather, you will also find the Killeens’ not-so-wild Golden Retriever, Byron, chasing tennis balls all the way to the back fenceline.
