WINTER WONDER 2022
No need for the winter blues! Reeves-Reed Arboretum in Summit is embracing the wonders of winter with their upcoming programs for children, families, and adults.
Weekly programs Oaks and Acorns (ages 3-5 with an adult), Homeschool Happenings (for homeschooled students ages 6-10), and Arboretum Afternoons (ages 5-8) are offering winter topics including arctic animals, migration, and hibernation and include nature hikes on the grounds. The very popular Kids Can Cook classes (ages 5-10) will include heart-warming comfort foods and treats for Valentine’s Day.
For the adults, you can learn how to identify trees this winter – at the Arboretum and in your own backyard. Need to warm up on a chilly morning or afternoon? Head over to the Arboretum and savor a deliciously warm cup of tea or freshly brewed coffee along with scrumptious scones and croissants as The Secret Tea Room returns this month, including new coffee workshops!
And for the sweetest wonder of winter, attend Reeves-Reed Arboretum’s Maple Sugaring Fest on Sunday, March 6, 1-4 pm! The day’s activities will include learning how to tap maple trees, turning sap into maple syrup, and other fun maple-themed activities.
