It’s time to celebrate the arrival of spring, the wonderful colors and liveliness of nature, and moms at our annual MayFest celebration. Come enjoy our exceptional rhododendrons, and even participate in a rhododendron scavenger hunt if you want to locate some prime species we think are of special interest. This year you can meet featured artists in our shop and pick up a bouquet from our pop-up flower stand—the perfect Mother’s Day gift awaits in our shop!
On Friday and Saturday, 45-minute docent tours (at 11am and 2pm) offer a chance to learn about Lakewold’s history and the horticultural collections that make up our garden spaces.
On Mother’s Day (Sunday), enjoy a dessert and mimosa box (with a non-alcoholic version available as well) on our lawn in a fenced-in (21+) “Mimosa Meadow.” Live harp music will fill the gardens courtesy Lakewold favorite Twyla Eddins. At the close of MayFest on the evening of May 9th, Rona Yellow Robe will present a concert event called “The Language of Trees.” This special walking flute concert will take place under the trees of Lakewold Gardens.
