The bees have been busy, the flowers are in bloom and harvest day is here. Watch honey being harvested and design your own bouquet straight from the flower field 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 taste the honey yourself. 
  • Earn your pollinator pal badge. Embark on the Pollinator Quest, brought to you by Great River Energy’s Pollinator Strong initiative. 
  • 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.
  • Decorate the bee hives and a pollinator hotel at our activity stations. 
  • Savor the flavor of the harvest. Stop by our kitchen for honey-inspired culinary creations from Chefs Beth and Cheo featuring Farm at the Arb honey.
  • Sip and sway. Enjoy a cold pour from a local brewery while you swing to the live music with the band Shirts & Skins. 
  • Play on the lawn. Finish your visit with outdoor games like cornhole, pickleball and more.
