Mark your calendars for July 28th for Summer Fest, a Family Fun Event offered by the Evergreen Arboretum & Gardens. The day will be chock full of hands-on activities that will educate and delight with a focus on the natural world! It’s free and open to all in the arboretum.
This year kids will go on a scavenger hunt, plant trees, get their faces painted, read to dogs, make leaf prints, and learn about birds & bugs! Marco Cortes returns with his guitar (kids enjoyed dancing to his music very much last year!) and local artist, Janet Hamilton will offer a pastel demonstration on-site.
So tell your friends and bring the kids – we have an amazing family day planned for you in the Evergreen Arboretum!
Participating organizations include the Everett Public Library, Paws to Read, The Imagine Children’s Museum, Schack Art Center, Master Gardeners of Snohomish County, Pilchuck Audubon Society, Everett YMCA, Bartlett Tree Service and the Everett Garden Club. Information about participating organizations will also be available.
