Last May Executive Director Steve Spongberg led a group of twenty-two people on a guided tour of just a portion of the Arnold Arboretum's extensive collection. The response of the participants was so positive, and there was still so much left to see at the Arnold that the entire class asked for a return trip in the fall. Mid-October should be a splendid time to view the changing foliage at the Arboretum, and Steve's intimate knowledge of every inch of the property means that every step is loaded with informative and interesting commentary. Participants are expected to take the 7 AM boat to Woods Hole, where a chartered bus will transport the group directly to the Arnold Arboretum. The fee includes transportation to and from the Arnold Arboretum from Woods Hole, a boxed lunch, beverages, and snacks.
Participants are responsible for their own ferry tickets.
Registration deadline for this trip is Wednesday, October 11th. Minimum registration is 20 participants. Flat Edge Tool Sharpening Clinic. Ever mindful of the connection between trees and wood, the Polly Hill Arboretum is offering a unique opportunity for woodworkers this fall. Janet Collins, the Workshop Program Director at North Bennet Street School in Boston, will present a one-day seminar on flat edge tool sharpening.
