Every Saturday in June
This week's topic:
Backyard Birds!
Make a new discovery every Saturday at the Arboretum! While we truly miss having families come to visit and participate in Discovery Saturdays, we still wanted to give you a little something for stopping by. Pick up a FREE fact sheet (from the mailbox outside the Education Center) to learn all about today's topic: Backyard Birds. BONUS: Every week, we will also include instructions for either a DIY craft that you can make at home or a fun activity based on that week's topic!
Registration is not required. Pages available while supplies last. Click on the title above for more information and a full list of our Saturday topics.

Bringing all the magic of the Arboretum's summer camp home to you! The materials for the week's games, crafts, and activities will be neatly packed up for you to either be picked up here at the Arboretum or dropped off at your home – five days of activities, games and stories all rolled up in one package!
This week's theme is "Dirt Detectives." All activities will tie into this week's theme and they can be done (at your pace) in your own house, yard, or neighborhood! They're designed to get you up and moving – after all this is summer camp, not school! So sign up today to be part of our camp team! Check back soon for other Camp in a Box offerings.

With so many graduation celebrations being postponed or cancelled, the Staff and Trustees at Reeves-Reed Arboretum are creating a Garden for Graduates to perennially celebrate the Class of 2020. Why not do something special for your graduate and remind them just how extraordinary the ordinary can be?
Your gift - whether for plants, recognition on a special 2020 Graduates plaque, a personalized stone, or a complimentary photo shoot and print at the Arboretum - will help create a place for the graduates to visit for years to come.
