The bees have been busy, the flowers are in bloom and harvest day is here! Come celebrate honey and a cut-flower harvest at the Farm at the Arb. There is something sweet in store for everyone from honey-inspired creations in the kitchen to designing your own bouquet straight from the flower field.

  • Explore the Tashjian Bee and Pollinator Discovery Center. Investigate the sweet science behind Minnesota pollinators, watch our beekeepers harvest and process the honey, and try a honey tasting for yourself. Complete our Pollinator Quest and earn your pollinator pal badge.
  • Design your own flower bouquet. Head to our flower field to harvest flowers, and stop by our design booth to create your own cut-flower bouquet.
  • Visit our Activity Stations. Learn about our pollinator friends through a fascinating STEM activity the whole family will enjoy and create a unique craft to take home. 
  • Savor the flavor of the harvest. Stop by our kitchen for honey-inspired culinary creations from Chefs Beth and Cheo featuring the honey from our farm.
  • Sip and sway. Enjoy a cold pour from a local brewery while you swing to the live music.
