Spring is finally here and what better way to celebrate the season than with some recipes to take advantage of early spring produce. We’ll be using lavender, arugula, rhubarb and other spring veggies to make some new and interesting recipes that you’ll want to add to your repertoire.

Join us for a fun afternoon, sample the goodies and take the recipes home to try your hand at them.

Wednesday, June 5 - 7:00 PM

VIRTUAL VIA ZOOM

Join intrepid garden traveler, obsessive gardener and past Friends President, Sue Acheson, as she takes us on a Zoom tour of "Botanic Gardens from Coast to Coast." Sue will show seven public gardens from California, Colorado, Missouri, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, in all seasons and in a broad range of climate zones.

With inspiring, beautiful photographs from each, Sue will show what we can learn from each of these gardens to raise our home gardens to the next level.

All of these gardens are Sue's favorites, along with many others she will save for another day.

AT THE ARBORETUM

Spring is decidedly in the air! Blue skies, temperatures in the 60s and many plants beginning to break ground, budding and blooming. The Prunus mume cv. Kobai (Japanese Apricot) is in full bloom against the Carriage House wall, its flowers' sweet scent wafting through the air, calling to humans and bees alike. The delicate little yellow/green flowers of the Corylopsis gotoana 'March Jewel' (Winterhazel) are beginning to open on the plant's bare branches.near the arbor and a bunch of Hyacinth buds are getting ready to burst into bloom by Matilda's Cottage.

Don't miss all this early spring activity at the Arboretum!
