Trail of Scarecrows is Coming Soon!

Be on the lookout for Scholastic Scarecrows, a program that combines artistry with reading and writing skills. Visitors will find an array of scarecrows built by children in grades K-5. Children’s groups from schools and organizations read a story and build a scarecrow based on that story. They then write an essay together to enter into the competition. Beginning the first week in October, the scarecrows will be displayed in the arboretum with their essays. Visitors will be able to look at the scarecrow, read the essay, and then vote on their favorite.
