The Highlands Biological Foundation needs the community’s help creating a Ghostly Garden for families to walk through.
This year, HBF’s Halloween event is a self-guided hike through the Highlands Botanical Garden and they want to showcase handmade decorations from our friends!
If you would like to participate, the Foundation is offering free “spooky” kits for you and your family to make your own ominous owl, spider web, The Bascom Halloween puppet, and more!
Pick up and drop off your creations at the Highlands Nature Center by Wednesday, Oct. 28.
Then, wander through the Ghostly Garden if you dare to see all the decorations from Friday, October 30, through Sunday, Nov. 1.
Costumes are encouraged!
