Happy Holidays from Taltree!

Like you, we get pretty busy this time of year. But we would not have anything to be busy with if it were not for you, our friends and supporters. Have a safe and festive holiday, and don’t forget to come out to Taltree if you find you’re in need of a little peace and quiet. Holiday Office Hours The Taltree administrative offices will be closed from December 23 through January 1. The Arboretum and store close on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve at 1:00pm, and is closed Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Lights, Santa, Action! Tonight’s Glow and Santa Photos are cancelled, but, weather permitting, will continue Friday and Saturday as the final nights for photos with Santa. Remember, Santa is available for photos with both human and canine family members. Our Holiday Glow in the Gardens will continue from 4 – 7 pm December 21, 22, 27, 28 and 29, with a creative display of solar lights. The glow gets going around 4:30 pm when the sun goes down. Cost is $5 per carload, with Taltree member carloads free. Donations are appreciated.
