Saturday, May 17 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

“The Nature Play Day Vendor Market will be held outdoors at The N.C. Arboretum, on the plaza outside the Education Center or at Blue Ridge Court. In case of rain, an alternative location will be provided inside the Education Center Auditorium.”

“The Arboretum’s Nature Play Day celebrates how spending time exploring and playing outdoors promotes a wide variety of positive physical, mental and emotional benefits.
This year’s festivities will include the grand opening of the Playing Woods, the Arboretum’s nature playscape, fairy house and gnome home building, stick fort building, storytelling, pond life exploration, and much more. Join us as we rekindle our childlike imaginations with a day spent celebrating the magic and splendor of the woods!”
