Bees, Butterflies & Blooms Kickoff Weekend
May 23 - May 26
Help Morris Arboretum kick off Bees, Butterflies & Blooms: A Pollinator Paradise with the opening of Garden Railway: World Pollinators and the Hummingbird Hut!
Garden Railway: World Pollinators features charming miniature trains weaving through a landscape teeming with flowers and buzzing with life, including spectacular sculptures of pollinators from around the globe, each crafted with incredible detail using natural materials like bark, leaves, twigs, mosses, acorns, dried flowers, seeds, and resin.
Nearby, the Hummingbird Hut offers a chance to get a close-up view of these tiny, iridescent birds as they flit from bloom to bloom, showcasing their delicate grace. Head to the Hummingbird Hut on Saturday, May 24 and Sunday, May 25 for storytime, crafts, and science fun all day long! Learn about the connections between plants and pollinators, particularly our friend, the hummingbird! Learn how they pollinate, and how you can attract them to your home.
