Woodland Wonders presents a year devoted to nature, imagination, and discovery, all centered on the wonder of trees. From magnolias and oaks to musclewood and beyond, the exhibition explores forests and wildlife while illustrating how trees shape everyday life, from the air we breathe and the water we depend on to the cinnamon in cookies. Offerings suitable for all ages, tree-focused art, and opportunities for exploration at your own pace will be available at the Garden, with an emphasis on why these living giants have sustained life on Earth for more than 390 million years. Entry is included with regular daily admission, and Garden members receive complimentary access. Additional information about the exhibit will be shared later in the spring.
