December Field Trip: A Visit to the Arboretum

Pacific Northwest weather only enhances an arboretum tour experience.
On December 5th, between rain showers, LWVSC nature enthusiasts gathered at The Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens in North Everett for a delightful tour of the arboretum with guide Eileen Simmons.
Eileen is the Chair of the Board of the arboretum, and she shared a wealth of knowledge from the garden's design to the organization's mission, history, and programs, all as we strolled and learned about the colorful landscape. The arboretum was decorated in December with festive yarn and fiber ornaments, handmade by volunteers, lovely for the winter holidays.
Following the tour (and hanging a wish on the Wishing Tree!) most of us then gathered at Sisters for a delicious lunch and shared wonderful League camaraderie.
