Tree Week: Seven years and seven images
We will have previous Tree Week prints on display.
Climate Conversations
Let’s Talk About Climate! Where should we begin?
Conversations about climate change can be intimidating, but are essential to building resilience and connection in the face of climate change. That’s why we’ve designed a climate conversation card game – to facilitate conversations between community members in ways that generate genuine connections between people and their experiences with climate change. Our card game encourages participants to work through their own relationships with climate change, form connections with others, and share their visions for a climate resilient Lexington.
The Great Tree Scavenger Hunt
Please join us at Springhouse Gardens during Tree Week anytime between 9:00am and 5:00pm Mon-Sat, or Sun 11:00-4:00 for our self-guided ‘Great Tree Scavenger Hunt’!
Tour the garden center and beautiful grounds searching for 12 great trees from Kentucky gardens. Pick up a map and tree list at our Garden Center and have fun finding them all at your own pace! Dogs on a leash and kids and adults of all ages are welcome! If you find all 12, you receive a free pumpkin and a coupon good for 30% off any containerized tree!
BCTC Tree-ative Poetry Reading
Trees have been gathering places in many cultures, so let’s gather in the BCTC Library (Newtown Campus, Classroom Building) to share stories and poems from our different global cultures. We will have readings from the Tree-ative Exhibition entries.
