Join us Saturday, September 9, 2023 from 10 am - 3 pm!

A community celebration of trees and the many exciting things happening in the Arboretum lands! Join us for tours of the grounds, trails, gardens, research projects, tree climbing demonstrations, and an in-person Plant Sale. Take home an interesting woody plant, grown in the Arboretum greenhouse and tended to by our dedicated staff and volunteers.

This year’s expo aligns with an annual flower open house offered by Guelph Trial Gardens. Participants will have a chance to see the new flower varieties included this time around and vote for their favourite.

Featured activities include a tree-climbing demonstration, insect hunt, plant identification and sketching, flower arranging and more designed to foster a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

Tours of related facilities, such as the Turfgrass Institute and Honeybee Research Centre, will also be provided.

Hosted by The Arboretum, Guelph Trials Garden and the Centre for Urban Organic Farming.
