Beneath the pines tickets now live
Enjoy an evening under the pines on 4/30 at 6pm as we celebrate community, nature, and stewardship, set among the quiet beauty of the arboretum. As the sun dips and the pines rise overhead, guests are invited to gather for an intimate night of connection featuring seasonal fare, live music, engaging discussion,
libations, auction items and moments of wonder and serenity as we encourage you to explore the trails in early Spring at the arboretum with a friend, acquaintance or partner.
