Join us at Jenkins Arboretum and Gardens for a day of education and discovery. Jenkins Arboretum and Gardens’ 46 acres include a visitor's center, trails, a pond and stream, native trees, shrubs and wildflowers, azalea and rhododendron collections, a woodland garden featuring many spring ephemerals, and much more. Like any garden, there are unique management challenges here. Preserving the native species and keeping on top of invasives are just two obstacles encountered here. It is a great time of year to see the gardens, sharpen your professional skills, and learn “hands-on” tips to help manage pests in any setting.
