Monday: Scavenger Hunt

Join us for an Arboretum Scavenger Hunt! Come by the Bobby G. Wilder Visitor Center to pick up your scavenger hunt clues and then go out into the gardens to search for the answers. Don't forget to take pictures and post your adventures to our Facebook page!

This is a free event for all ages. We hope that you enjoy all the gardens, but please leave all the leaves and flowers on the plants for others to enjoy as well. Only allow your family to collect materials that have fallen off of the plants.
