Join us for a short tour of Laurel Hill West’s wintry arboretum in celebration of Tu B’Shevat, often called the Jewish New Year for the Trees. As we examine barks, buds, and berries, we’ll learn about the historical, agricultural, and spiritual origins of Tu B’Shevat and how it is celebrated around the world today. Afterward, enjoy mulled wines along with fruits significant to the holiday and often consumed during Tu B’shevat Seders. This event is presented in partnership with the Friends of Laurel Hill Cemetery.

Directions:

We will depart from the CONSERVATORY inside West Laurel Hill Cemetery (not the first building you see).
