To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Marres, marked on the 25th of each month, an extra garden workshop will be organized for November 25.
Workshop: The Secluded Garden
With Hans Engelbrecht
In the urban garden at Marres, the shift from fall to winter is unfolding. We often see this as a process of fading: leaves change color and fall, plants wither, birds migrate, and other animals begin their hibernation. But much more is happening. Gardener Hans Engelbrecht will highlight the processes occurring during this period and discuss the unique plants and animals found in the garden and on its historic walls.
Bundle up and explore Marres’ winter garden with a nice hot chocolate afterwards. We look forward to welcoming you!

The workshop will be held at two different times:
11:00AM – 1:00PM
