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.

This year’s garden glow is entirely “off the grid,” thanks in part to a grant from Nipsco. See Taltree’s Signature Oak lit with more than 3,000 lights and dozens of phosphorescent ornaments powered by the sun. Enjoy prairie flowers and grasses as they sway in the breeze, and stop in at the Railway Garden Depot, which has been outlined by LED lights.
