Explore and participate in a colorful, outdoor art installation

If you make your way to the Arboretum this month, you’ll not only be greeted by all the natural beauty a Davis spring has to offer, but also an art installation made up of a ribbon-laden tree by Lake Spafford, a bridge dressed in gold near Wyatt Deck and a meandering poetry path. Enjoy the artwork and even take part in it by writing your hopes and well-wishes on fabric tied to the installations.
