Celebrate the Jewish New Year of Trees at Morris Arboretum’s Tu B’Shevat Family Day on Sunday, January 20, 1–3 p.m. This event will feature Andi Joseph, The Musical Mommy, who serves as a Jewish music specialist and leads musical and educational Shabbat programs. Her concerts involve audience participation, fun props, and an engaging, captivating blend of traditional, original and contemporary music where children join in the fun. After the performance, kids may transplant a tree seedling to take home and learn how to care for their new tree buddy.
During the week of Sunday, January 20–Sunday, January 27 (excluding Friday and Saturday) in one hour and 15-minute sessions, pre-K through 3rd grade groups may take part in an indoor/outdoor tree education program. Through interactive play, kids will learn about a tree’s root system, participate in “Tree Jeopardy,” take home a birch tree seedling, and go on a short tour of the Morris Arboretum. To schedule a group visit, available by reservation only, call (215) 247-5777 ext. 157. Both events are free with regular admission and group rates apply for the education program. |
