Arboretum lights up for 'Moonlight' event
It's the final weekend for Moonlight in the Garden.
Posted — UpdatedThe arboretum, which opened in 1975, covers more than 10 acres. The gardens contain a diverse collection of plants, all of which have been adapted for landscape use. Most of the garden follow a formal design or theme and some sections were designed and built by students taking landscape horticulture classes. The arboretum is maintained by volunteers and relies on public support and donations.
The Moonlight in the Garden event is one of the ways the arboretum raise funds to keep admission free for the rest of the year.
In addition to the displays, the event also includes food trucks, local apple cider, live music and fire pits.
Moonlight in the Garden wraps up this weekend. It runs Thursday through Saturday. Admission is $10 for Arboretum members, $20 for non-members and $5 for children ages 12 years and younger.
