In the Groves: A Summer Solstice Journey June 16, 2006

This enchanting evening of tree myths from around the world was designed specifically for the Arboretum. It will start at the Hunnewell Building and continue along tree-lined paths with story and music accompanying the way. The journey takes us to some of the loveliest spots in the Arboretum where legends and songs that center around trees will be shared. Pieces and music are drawn from the rich cultural traditions of Japan, Wales, England, Australia and Native America. The evening culminates with the haunting Czech legend ?The Wild Woman of the Birch Grove? told among the birches of Bussey Hill at sunset. Appropriate for adults and for children eight years and above. Bring a cushion to sit on if you wish. The journey will be approximately two miles on and off trails. The performance takes place rain or shine. In the event of rain, it will be held in the Hunnewell Building lecture hall.
