Winter Solstice Celebration

(families with children 4+)

Celebrate the upcoming solstice - the shortest day of the year - with stories and cocoa around the campfire as we reflect on the ancient traditions surrounding the first day of winter. A wonderful opportunity to pause and regroup before heading into the hectic holiday season.

“It takes a noble man to plant a seed for a tree that will one day provide shelter to those he may never meet.” -D. Elton Trueblood

Please help us “plant more seeds” of love and respect for the natural world by making a donation today.

From preparation and setup to decorating unique wreaths, centerpieces, and outdoor planters - the holiday season is a fun time to unleash your creativity, as well as get dirty!

We have more than 35 shifts available - mornings, afternoons, and evenings - so there’s sure to be a time that fits your schedule. Some sessions may include harvesting greens from the grounds, measuring/cutting roping, and set-up or clean up. Please dress appropriately. Click here for more information and to sign up for a festive 2-hour shift! Registration is required.

We are holding our 2nd annual Festival of Trees on Sunday, December 12. Businesses, organizations, families, and friends will decorate trees on the grounds of the Arboretum.
