Discover a world of wonder as you meet some of the mythical, magical, and monstrous creatures that have inspired fascinating legends and captured human imaginations for centuries. From majestic unicorns and fire-breathing dragons, to trolls, fairies, and phoenixes, magical beings made of natural and nature-inspired materials come to life in an exhibit that will leave you spell-bound. This fall in The Ramble at New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill, journey with us through a realm of Myths, Magic, and Monsters, where anything is possible, and the impossible is real. The exhibition and activities run from September 1 – October 31. And thank you, NEBG, for that Oxford comma in the title.
On select Friday and Saturday evenings this fall, Myths, Magic, and Monsters becomes even more mesmerizing with dazzling light displays and illuminated mythical creatures. These family-friendly evening events include enchanting activities, atmospheric music, and real-life folklore friends. Explore the wonders of the season and experience The Ramble in a whole new light. Don’t forget your wings and wands.
Join us Octobrer 7 – 9 from 10 – 4 for a weekend full of legends and lore this autumn as our mythical guests transform the Garden into a realm of imagination, wonder, and magic. Enjoy brews and local fare at our Beer Garden, browse our magical marketplace, and discover hidden mythical creatures along the way. This weekend will feature enchanting crafts, workshops, and entertainment for all ages. Come dressed up as your favorite fantasy being!
In a special adult class, instructor Merry Beninato will conduct a workshop on Needle Felted Fairy Houses on September 9 from 1 – 3:30. Create a three-dimensional wool sculpture of a fairy house, complete with tiny windows, flowers, beneficial bugs, and a curl of smoke drifting from a wee crooked chimney. Students will start with a basic shape of core wool and add layers of colorful wool by hand with a felting needle, according to their own tastes. The finished creation can serve as decor, or a useful pincushion.
All materials and supplies will be provided in this make-and-take class. Beginners welcome. $60 for NEBG members, $75 for nonmembers.
