With more snow overnight, the gardens will remain closed today (1/11). While the gardens are off-limits to human visitors, our trails are still open for our wildlife friends! The fresh snowfall gives us a sneak peek into the secret lives of those who roam the garden when we're not around. Who do you think left these footprints, and where were they headed?⁠ ⁠ Although the trails are closed, The Garden Shop is open today from 11 AM - 4 PM. Remember to check our website for updated hours and closure notices before planning your visit this season!

💧 Explore stormwater and vegetation/landscape management solutions for the environmentally conscious property owner. Join us on Thursday, January 16 at 7 PM EST for our virtual Third Thursday Lecture - "How to Manage Stormwater and Streamside Areas on Your Property" with Mark Gallagher and Clay Emerson from Princeton Hydro. In the suburban landscape, our interconnected system of roadside ditches, inlets, and pipes have replaced natural headwater wetland areas and first-order streams. This new manmade conveyance system has increased the connectivity of our watersheds, bringing the responsibility of a riparian landowner to nearly everyone’s front door. Sponsored by: Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens, Tredyffrin Township Environmental Advisory Council, Open Land Conservancy, Tredyffrin Public Library, and Aqua. Free of charge | Virtual event⁠⁠ Register here: https://lnkd.in/ebuhacvw ⁠#jenkinsarboretum #jenkinsarboretumandgardens #americasgardencapital #freelecture #stormwater #stormwatermanagement #streamside #riparian
