From the website:
This isn't your typical lighting event. Moonlight in the Garden is meticulously designed to showcase our internationally acclaimed garden and all its splendor. You think our collection is spectacular by day? Wait until you see it under the cover of darkness artfully lit on a crisp November evening. It's an magical experience you don't want to miss.
Bring your family and friends to stroll through the garden, listen to a live band, grab a bite to eat from a food truck, roast a marshmallow or two at the fire pits, and sip a cup of hot apple cider, all the while showing your support for the JC Raulston Arboretum. Moonlight in the Garden helps us raise the funds necessary to keep our gates open and our admission free 365 days a year. Come join us.
Be inspired. Be delighted. Be in awe of the beauty of a nighttime garden
Annual Friendsgiving Brunch
HER fam!
We hope you can join us for a backyard Friendsgiving brunch! The whole family is invited! Come enjoy some time with your HER Friends!
We will be outside, so please plan for the weather. If it's chilly, bundle up!
Please bring a dish to share. We will have some yard games out for the kiddos and a bonfire going.
Mimosas, cider, and coffee will be provided! Please post the dish you plan to bring in the comments so we avoid too many of the same dish!
Volunteer Opportunity: Fire station Meal Drop-off & Tour
HER Circle Members:
Help us stock the fridge/freezer of one of our local fire stations and give the firefighters some great meals to eat over the holiday weekend.
They have requested freezer meals! And things like cookies are also always appreciated! They also said please no board games (apparently they have plenty)! Please post in the comments what you plan to bring so we can be sure we have some variety.
They have also agreed to give the kiddos a tour, of course this only applies if they don't have a call to respond to at that time.

Perhaps being more present with family?
Unplugging in the evening?
Changing up your morning routine?
Taking time for yoga and walks?
Whatever your goal, it can be easier when you tell someone else what you're working towards. Chances of success are improved even more when you have a friend or two to hold you accountable!

A 2021 Alex Award winner!
The 2021 RUSA Reading List: Fantasy Winner!
An Indie Next Pick!

Lambda Literary Award-winning author TJ Klune’s bestselling, breakout contemporary fantasy that's "1984 meets The Umbrella Academy with a pinch of Douglas Adams thrown in." (Gail Carriger)
A magical island. A dangerous task. A burning secret.
Linus Baker leads a quiet, solitary life. At forty, he lives in a tiny house with a devious cat and his old records. As a Case Worker at the Department in Charge Of Magical Youth, he spends his days overseeing the well-being of children in government-sanctioned orphanages.
When Linus is unexpectedly summoned by Extremely Upper Management he's given a curious and highly classified assignment: travel to Marsyas Island Orphanage, where six dangerous children reside: a gnome, a sprite, a wyvern, an unidentifiable green blob, a were-Pomeranian, and the Antichrist. Linus must set aside his fears and determine whether or not they’re likely to bring about the end of days.
But the children aren’t the only secret the island keeps. Their caretaker is the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, who will do anything to keep his wards safe. As Arthur and Linus grow closer, long-held secrets are exposed, and Linus must make a choice: destroy a home or watch the world burn.
An enchanting story, masterfully told, The House in the Cerulean Sea is about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place―and realizing that family is yours.
