A photo exhibit, Seasonal Views of the Morris Arboretum, is now in the Lower Gallery of the Widener Visitor Center at the Morris Arboretum through April 30. The exhibit features the work of artist Linda Berger, a resident of German-town who has been an Arboretum staff member for 18 years and is a graduate of the Tyler School of Art. At right, a winter view of the Swan Pond at the Arboretum. According to Ms. Berger, Seasonal Views of the Morris Arboretum includes vistas that evoke ancient values of seeing and experiencing surprising elements in the natural landscape. “Features in the Victorian Garden invite emergence into light and vast open space from darkness. Favorite sculptures, plants, historic structures and animals within the cultivated landscape become beloved icons. This diversity of experience sets the Morris Arboretum uniquely apart from all other arboreta worldwide.” The exhibit is free with regular admission: $8 adults, $6 seniors (65+) and students (13-18 with ID) and $3 for children (3-12). Free with PENNCard, members and children under three.
