Morris Arboretum invites everyone to celebrate the Jewish New Year of Trees at Tu B’Shevat Family Day this Sunday February 12, from 1–3 p.m.

Families will have the chance to learn about important food crop trees of Israel, and why they can’t be grown in Pennsylvania. Children will engage in various activities and will even receive their own seedling to take home.

If attending, you can expect to hear a speaker describe what the growing conditions are like in Israel, and how the trees are actually grown. You can then see visual displays of how these trees are used to make various products. The delicious foods these trees provide will also be available to sample (yum).

The event is free with regular admission.
