Thacher Middle School Volunteers

Two middle school students, Wyatt and Asher, from Thacher Montessori School have spent the fall semester helping care for the animals at the arboretum. They also volunteered their time helping to care for the labyrinth garden by raking, adjusting the rocks in the spiral pattern, making it safe and inviting for visitors. Thank You Volunteers!

Wreath Making Workshop

This year we had the most wreath-making workshop participants in Wakefield Arboretum's history. Over 90 wreaths were made over the three days! This is one of our favorite workshops to offer, and it is so fun to see what all the attendees create. We thank all of the new and repeat participants for supporting one of our most popular events.
