Join the staff and volunteers of SFA Gardens for a fun-packed, free, family event to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the gardens. Visit the Mast Arboretum, Jim and Beth Kingham Children’s Garden, Gayla Mize Garden, Ruby M. Mize Azalea Garden, Pineywoods Native Plant Center and the Jimmy Hinds Park between 10:00 a.m. and noon to participate in scavenger hunts to discover and learn about some of the treasures you can find in the gardens.

Then come to the Pineywoods Native Plant Center (2900 Raguet Street, Nacogdoches) between noon and 2:00 p.m. for arts and crafts, fun educational activities, live music, and of course, cake! Individuals or families who participate in the scavenger hunt will be eligible for prizes during the afternoon celebration. Visit the SFA Gardens “museum” in the Ina Brundrett Conservation Education Building, where photographs and other memorabilia from the past 40 years of the SFA Gardens will be on display.
