Don’t miss your opportunity to experience the JC Raulston Arboretum after dark. The arboretum will open six evenings in November for you, your family and friends to explore this nighttime wonder.

This isn’t your typical lighting event. Moonlight in the Garden is meticulously designed to showcase our internationally acclaimed garden and all its splendor. If 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 a 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 while showing your support for the arboretum. Moonlight in the Garden helps us raise the funds necessary to keep our gates open and our admission free 365 days a year. This is your only chance to see the garden at night. Come join us.
Be inspired. Be delighted. Be in awe of the beauty of a nighttime garden.
