As we ramp up for the spooky season of Halloween, join the Manager of Adult Programming and Events for a walk focused on the most sinister plants in the Arboretum’s collections. Armed with spiky thorns, sticky latex, and chemical warfare, these plant species defend themselves from hungry herbivores—and sometimes from humans who wander too close.


Accessibility: This program involves walking over pavement, crushed stone, and mulch paths, including one short but steep hill.


Audience: This program is geared towards adults.
