Special Events

Throughout the year, Tyler Arboretum hosts a range of special events, many of which are essential fundraisers that support Tyler’s mission, programs, and activities.

Because of scheduling changes, the exact dates and times for our seasonal and annual programs will vary from year to year. Please check the calendar page for details.

Thursday, June 8, 2023: Tyler at Twilight

Delaware County’s premier garden party and fundraiser is a perfect evening
for you and your friends to enjoy great food and drinks and good company. And our Live Auction gives you the chance to bid on unique items and experiences, many that offer time outdoors in nature.

Your support of this fundraiser helps protect and share the natural lands, trails, and gardens at Tyler Arboretum.

May 5-7, 2022: Annual Plant Sale

Spring really wouldn’t be spring without Tyler’s annual Plant Sale, which happens over the course of the first weekend in May.

The Plant Sale takes place outdoors and is a rain or shine event. Garden experts are on hand to offer advice on plant selection, planting and care tips, and the best kinds of companion plants. The Plant Sale’s large selection of plants offers something to suit all pockets and tastes: from trees, shrubs, and perennials; to annuals, herbs, and vegetables.

The Plant Sale includes a member preview day on Friday. You must be a member of Tyler to shop for plants on this day. The rest of the weekend the Plant Sale is open to the general public between 9am and 2pm. Admission to the Plant Sale is free. The Arboretum is open on the weekends until 8pm.

For all these events and others, please check our calendar page for details.
