Celebrate the newness of 2022 with a visit to the Mary May Binney Wakefield Arboretum. To kick off the New Year, the arboretum welcomes visitors to tour the grounds over this weekend. The arboretum will be open Saturday and Sunday, January 8 & 9, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm for self-guided strolls. In addition, on Saturday eve, January 8th, the arboretum will host its annual “Winterfire” event from 5:00 pm-7:00 pm. Winterfire combines lightscape with landscape to highlight several of the estate's signature trees and garden features against a deep mid-winter sky, and features a warm fire in the Front Garden to warm yourself with some hot chocolate. So bundle up and come out to enjoy a refreshing visit to the arboretum and a visit with some of the animals. Events are subject to cancellation due to weather and/or COVID complications; see www.wakefieldtrust.org or the Facebook page for any last-minute changes.
