Judy's Day is in memory of Judy Abrams (1940-1996), our friend, teacher, and mentor, and a wonderful, giving person. Her family and friends have made this program possible to celebrate Judy's love of life, work, kids, and the natural world. The Saquish Foundation and the SIRUS Fund have provided generous gifts to support the program.
Beginning in 1997, we have organized this one-day festival to celebrate our vital connection with plants. In the scenic setting of our arboretum, we explore unique themes, bringing them alive through exhibits, activities, crafts, music, and more. View past Judy's Days.
This year's Judy's Day theme focuses on local life in the mid-1800's.
Based on passages from real diaries, the daily activities of children and how they relied on plants are brought to life. Enjoy hands-on activities, music, and food at this free learning festival.
