Weekend Programming — Last Chance Weekend!

Posted in Programs and Events on June 27 2008, by Plant Talk

Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end 
Of a love or a season?
— Robert Frost, “Reluctance”
(final stanza)

Nothing lasts forever, and spring has given way to summer here at the Garden. We tried to stop it, but there are just some things that have to come to an end. Unfortunately, that holds true for some of the programming at the Garden as well. This weekend is the last time you can…

• Go on a guided bird walk (until the fall)
• Make your way to the strawberry patch in the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden and create your very own berry botanical button and sample a strawberry smoothie (until next year)
• Conduct a Charles Darwin-like experiment to explore how seeds travel by water, create herbarium specimens, or explore an interactive Tree of Life in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden (closing)
• View the photography exhibit A Passionate Grower: Heirloom Melons and Squashes from the Gardens of Amy Goldman — An Exhibition of Photographs by Victor Schrager (closing)
