Kevin Hennigan and Jo Schirling, both 2024 graduates of Lankenau Environmental Science Magnet High School, spent every Tuesday and Thursday of their senior year interning at the Morris—and they did everything, from decimating pests and diseases in the greenhouse to assisting Plant Science by using satellite technology.

Hot, bold colors dominate this year's Victorian-inspired exhibition!

This spring, the Morris added an extremely rare plant to our collection: the Cathay silver fir, Cathaya argyrophylla, an ancient member of the pine family, and a “living fossil" that first appeared in fossil records around 140 million years ago during the Cretaceous period of the late Mesozoic Era.

Longtime members and frequent birders Ken Januski and Jerene Schroeder say the Morris is inspiration for art.

Morris Arboretum & Gardens hosts several of the over 200 species of maidenhair ferns. The maiden commemorated in the name is none other than Venus—the Greek goddess of love, beauty, sex, fertility, and victory.

The flowering of this peony is one of those sparkling moments in the garden that we look forward to each April.
