Description

Open House at Willowwood Arboretum

 

The coming of fall brings a new palette of colors to Willowwood’s meadows and gardens. Stroll the meadows and trails with Dr. Emile DeVito of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation or take a staff tour of Willowwood Arboretum’s “September Garden Highlights” in Chester Township. Musical entertainment provided by the All Trio, a local group from Chester, whose mix of folk, bluegrass, and fan favorites will highlight the afternoon. And for the kids, storyteller Michael Hartnett spins some intriguing tales of nature’s secret creatures. Also, The Tubbs House, an 18th century residence will be open to the public from 1 – 3 pm. Its furnishings and artifacts illuminate the lives of Henry and Robert Tubbs and Dr. Benjamin Blackburn, who developed Willowwood’s plant collections. There will also be a plant sale and refreshments.
