Happening this weekend, September 27th at George Pegg Botanic Garden.

Everyone is invited! Whatever the weather, we’ll have the wood stove going – plus hot beverages, a sweet snack, art activities for all ages, and awesome autumn scenery. Meet artist Lisa Matthias and see an exhibit of her work.

• Drop-in anytime from noon to 4:00pm to celebrate another wonderful season at George Pegg Garden. Throughout the summer our Artist in Residence Lisa Matthias has been creating art inspired by the plants, animals, and historic buildings. We are excited for you to see her newest woodcuts, etchings, and prints. Lisa will have some art for sale.
• We had a generous donation of dahlia plants to sell this summer – some are still available. All afternoon, our friend and dahlia grower David Stephenson will be sharing his tips for dividing dahlias and overwintering them indoors.
• Take a stroll around the Garden and find a beautiful backdrop for some family photos.
• September 27 is World Tourism Day. Check out our Northwest of 16 Tourism Association poster and explore their interactive map of tourism destinations in the area.
• Have you been using iNaturalist to identify plants and animals? Participate in the iNat Together 2026 Global Campaign from September 18-28. Bring your cellphone with the iNaturalist app downloaded. When you wander down the nature trail you’re sure to find something interesting to photograph. If you are new to iNaturalist we can help you get started!
• Friendly dogs on leash are welcome.
