In these workshops, we feature our horticultural staff as well as outside educators from the local community. Learn techniques and practices to bring a bit of what you love about BCA back to your own home or garden.

Typically, these workshops include a discussion with a hands-on activity resulting in a product to return home with. These workshops are mature in nature and are geared toward adults or teenagers with a specific interest in the subject matter.

All registration fees are considered a donation to Bayard Cutting Arboretum through the Natural Heritage Trust, aiding in the development of our Education Department. We thank you for the support of our mission and look forward to seeing how we can grow together!

Wellness Walks (Ages 15+)

A Wellness Walk is a unique immersion in nature; a connection with the natural world and ourselves. Unlike a hike or a naturalist walk, it’s a time to slow down and get grounded in nature; bringing some peace to our otherwise busy lives.
