Say hello to September–cooler weather, fall gourds and the sweet scents of late-summer blooms. Join a garden walk to learn about what’s in the garden now. This week, the Family Art Project takes inspiration from the monarch butterflies beginning migration in September. Get into art mode and create your own wings!
And a friendly reminder that we are open on Labor Day, Mon, Sep 5. We hope your long weekend is filled with warmth and relaxation.
