The Monstrous Garden

Program Details

Kick off the Halloween season with a delightfully eerie evening in the garden! On this 3-hour, adults-only adventure, you’ll meet the “monsters” of the Arboretum—plants that earn their name through appearance, behavior, or folklore. Learn the strange and surprising histories behind these botanical curiosities on a themed tour, then channel your inspiration into a guided art activity while enjoying light refreshments and a seasonal adult beverage. The night culminates with a spooky, hands-on encounter with a carnivorous plant and the hidden soil creatures that help these monsters thrive.

Photo ID required for adult beverage service.
