nature + science + art = fun

Come tune your senses to the song of spring while we become nature detectives. What is spring like at the Arboretum? What are the birds telling us? What are the plants doing? Where are the animals hanging out? We’ll look high and low to help us explore the meaning of springtime. We might also plant a garden, work with Arboretum staff to do a stewardship project, and meet up with a scientist to look closer at one of our local taxa. Interspersed throughout the week will be lots of games, spring-themed crafts, stories and adventures.
