Lights decorate an arched trellis and shrubbery at the Georgeson Botanical Garden. Visitors can enjoy the show three evenings per week from Dec. 19-Jan. 18.

Take a stroll through a winter wonderland under the Arctic Lights at the Georgeson Botanical Garden. The garden, on 性欲社 Troth Yeddha' Campus, will be festooned with lights from 5-9 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, Dec. 19 through Jan. 18.

Visitors are encouraged to take a walk on the paths between the garden beds, which are tucked in snugly for the winter. Wildlife may wander through as well, so keep an eye out for moose, porcupines and other creatures that may be stirring on these cold winter nights. 

Please stay on the paths and take care, as they may be icy or uneven, depending on weather conditions. Donations are encouraged. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
