SUMMARY:Mushroom Hunt
DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of mushrooms hide beneath the Arboretum’s canopies\, silently blossoming into unique forms then withering away again just as quickly. Join local mushroom enthusiast Maria Pinto to search for these fascinating organisms on the Arboretum grounds\, both edible and poisonous alike. Along the way you will learn what mushrooms to look for in different habitats and seasons\, how they move through ecosystems\, and what the Arboretum’s unique collections affect what mushrooms you might find here.   \n\n\n\nAccessibility: Participants will need to navigate woodchip\, gravel\, and dirt paths\, and climb moderate hills (Hemlock Hill\, specifically).  \n\n\n\nAudience: This program is geared towards adults. \n\n\n\nInclement weather policy: Participants will be notified via email at least 24 hours in advance if a program needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather\, and will be notified by phone if a program must be cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice. Click here to view our full inclement weather policy.

SUMMARY:East Meets West: Parallel Plants Across Hemispheres
DESCRIPTION:This is a members-only program. Not a member? Click here to join! \n\n\n\nOver 90% of the Arboretum’s wild-collected plants came from either eastern Asia or eastern North America. These include several closely related species that grow in entirely different hemispheres\, including species of maples\, viburnums\, hydrangea\, and more. Join Keeper of the Living Collections Michael Dosmann to learn about some of these plants’ evolutionary histories\, morphological similarities (and differences)\, horticultural merits\, and how they were introduced into cultivation and to the Arboretum specifically. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This walking program will cover mulch and gravel paths as well as off-path terrain. \n\n\n\nAudience: This members-only program is geared towards adults. \n\n\n\nInclement weather policy: Participants will be notified via email at least one day in advance if a program needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather\, and will be notified by phone if a program must be cancelled with less one day’s notice. Click here to view our full inclement weather policy. If you have questions about the status of a program\, please email publicprograms@arnarb.harvard.edu (inbox monitored on weekdays) or call the Visitor Center desk between 10:00am and 4:00pm at (617) 384-5209.

SUMMARY:Make Your Own Cyanotypes: A Drop-In Program
DESCRIPTION:Stop by the Hunnewell Lawn while supplies last to create beautiful nature-based cyanotype prints. Participants will arrange flowers\, leaves\, and seeds and expose them in sunlight to create a deep blue print with bright\, ghost-white silhouettes. \n\n\n\nThis is a drop-in program so there is no need to register\, just stop by and get creative! \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This is a stationary program on the Hunnewell lawn\, which is a flat grassy area. \n\n\n\nAudience: This program is appropriate for all ages. \n\n\n\nInclement weather policy: This program will be rescheduled in the event of rain or heavy clouds (which interfere with the cyanotypes’ reactivity to the sun). Rescheduling decisions will be made at least one day in advance of the program and will be posted on this event page: please check this page for updates.
