Improved Waters at the Arboretum
The Koi at the NHC Arboretum are now swimming in a newly cleaned accommodation. Thank you to the Cape Fear Water Gardens for all your help with this endeavor!
Did you know that koi are not to be fed during the winter? When temperatures are low, their metabolisms slow down and they are less active. Their need for food decreases and they are unable to properly digest food. Feeding will return in the Spring and fish food will be for sale in the gift shop.
