This annual family event gives everyone a chance to play in the leaves, celebrate trees, check out vendors and explore the Arboretum.
Take your family photo in our huge pile of leaves or with the scarecrow and straw bales. Master Composters will demonstrate how to make black gold out of kitchen and garden waste. Enjoy hands-on projects for everyone: do a scavenger hunt, discover how to make birds welcome, and learn your leaves. Visit with the many vendors who can help you connect with your environment and with conservation of our community.
NEW THIS YEAR: Grab a warm beverage from Surge Coffee Truck and listen to live music from Dario Ré!
