The Arboretum is the backdrop for many special celebrations and events April through October. Our signature event of the year is the Fall Harvest Festival, which includes market and food vendors, FREE kids' activities, live entertainment, a scarecrow contest, and much more!

The R. J. McElroy Education Center and gardens are also available for private events. Please see Rentals for more information.

We are still planning fun and exciting things for 2018! Check back for updates.

The Arboretum is still open to the public during rentals, however, the Education Center meeting space & kitchen, Rose Garden, Orchard, or Shade garden may be in use. Visitors are encouraged to still visit the Arboretum but asked to simply be respectful of those renting the spaces during their rental period.
