The Webster Arboretum
Solar Eclipse and Poetry Readings
Monday, April 8, 2024
Bring your lawn chairs, blankets and solar eclipse glasses and relax in our beautifully landscaped park, away from the noise and light pollution. The moon will begin to cover the sun at about 2:07 pm on April 8th. By about 3:20 pm, the sun will be completely covered for 3 minutes and 38 seconds. By 4:30, the show will be over.
Beginning at noon, the arboretum will be hosting two Rochester area poets for a poetry reading in the gazebo – a kickoff to our Poetry Trail initiative. Jennifer Maloney and Jonathon Everitt will be sharing original works of their art.
April 23 at 7 pm — Honey Bees
Mike Kopeki will present “The Queen Must Die and Drones Too …WHY? ”
Please join us for the answer to this question and insights into a variety of bee topics. Mike Kopeki, long time beekeeper in Webster will be joined by Kevin Gorman, a queen honeybee rearer, and Amy Stringer, beekeeper and proprietress of the North Bee, a complete honey emporium in Webster Village. This discussion will take place inside the Curry building.
This is the first in a series of “Timely Topics” at the Webster Arboretum.
A look back!
Here in the depths of winter it never hurts to have a few reminders of the colors of spring and summer. They will be with us again soon!
