Are you eager to get outside this season? Experience winter beauty at Morris Arboretum & Gardens while moving your body and connecting with nature! Led by our experienced Garden Educator Volunteers, our Winter Wellness Walks are an opportunity to experience the winter season in all its wonders and create connections with friends and fellow visitors. Wellness Walks are done in a group, at a conversational pace, and all levels of walking are welcome. All walks are on paved pathways. Meet at the Welcome Center. Free with general admission. Weather permitting.
Keep an eye on the calendar! Through the winter season, some walks will have themes of conversation, and some walks will invite families of all ages to participate:
Second Saturdays: Winter Nature Watch
Every second Saturday of the month, learn how to appreciate a garden in the winter on this guided walk. We'll look for winter interests such as tree bark color/texture, tree silhouettes, buds, and even look for winter-blooming plants. Every walk will be different, join us for as many as you can!
