Morgan Arboretum Plant Auction
Specialty varieties and other curiosities will be auctioned near the Arboretum nursery starting at 12:00. The plant sale will continue afterwards until 16:00.
Maple syrup for sale
John Watson and his crew have succeeded in bottling 70 gallons of maple syrup during this year’s exceptionally late and short sugaring season. Please drop by the Gatehouse to purchase your stock of this year’s crop.
Member’s price is $8 for a 540 ml can or a 250 ml gift bottle, $10 for non-members
Bird Banding
Enjoy a fascinating and memorable morning of bird watching, identifying, and banding with ornithologists from the McGill Bird Observatory. Don't forget that spring migration is underway, so this will be a good opportunity to check out the songbirds as they return.
If you prefer doing your own excursion, Pullin's Pasture is an especially good place to see them as they select their breeding territories or just pause for a rest on their way north.

Take some time to visit the Arbo
As the leaves begin to unfurl on the trees, the ground is beginning to briefly show the myriad spring ephemerals that benefit from the spring light before the leaf shade takes over for the summer. Enjoy the particularly spectacular carpets of Trilliums.
