Celebrate National Kite Month KiteFest! Every Sunday in April
Stroll the Arboretum and enjoy the efforts of local garden clubs and other organizations. Vote for your favorite container among the many inspiring creations concocted by local garden enthusiasts.
Check out the 25 beautiful Adirondack chairs painted by local artists and on display throughout the gardens. These are one-of-a-kind works of art, and if one of them strikes your fancy, you will have the opportunity to bid on your choice through an online auction. Be the envy of your friends! Or just enjoy the display.
If you know an artist who may be interested in painting a chair, contact Tammy Laudan: tlaudan@kc.rr.com.
Birding for a Life Long Adventure has been rescheduled for Sunday, April 7, 1:30 to 3 pm. Dr. David Seibel will focus on birding by sight, sound, habitat and distinguishing between similar species.
