Distant Hill Events for 2024

Join us on October 20th and help us decorate the StoryWalk® with adorable, compostable pumpkins and gourds that will bring an extra touch of autumn fun to Distant Hill Nature Trail.

Bring your own pumpkins, and we’ll supply the natural, eco-friendly materials like flowers, pinecones, and other plant treasures from Distant Hill property to craft unique fall decorations.

While we won’t be carving, you can get creative by attaching beautiful, biodegradable materials to gourds and pumpkins. (Young children will need an adult's help to make sure their designs last through Halloween.)

Don’t miss out on this seasonal activity that’s good for the earth and your Halloween spirit!

This family-friendly event is perfect for all ages!

Distant Hill Gardens and Nature Trail is a biologically diverse 155-acre property with an exceptional number of natural habitats, all supporting a wide assortment of native plants, including eight species of clubmoss.

Join Nate Marchessault of the Harris Center and Michael Nerrie of Distant Hill to take a closer look at the clubmoss species found at Distant Hill.

The workshop will feature collected specimens, followed by a short walk to see these plants in their natural habitats. After it's over, you'll be an expert on clubmoss ID!
