How does your garden grow? Find out how to make it flourish at Morris Arboretum’s Arbor Day Family Day on Saturday, April 23 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Expand your tree and gardening knowledge and discover how to help plants and flowers grow.  Explore three very different garden stations that will surprise you and sketch your own special garden. Learn how to choose garden plants, experiment with seeds and create your own indoor or outdoor garden. 

 After you’ve visited these garden stations, stop by the Upper Gallery from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. to learn more about trees at Arbor Day related demonstration tables. Discover which everyday items, such as cough syrup and cinnamon, are made from trees.  Talk with artisans who have crafted bowls and birdhouses from Arboretum reclaimed wood, which are available for purchase in the shop. This event, open to all visitors, is free with garden admission and also gives 4th and 5th grade Girl Scouts the opportunity to earn their “Gardener” badge.
