Morven Museum & Garden’s annual winter exhibition, Festival of Trees, returns Nov. 15 through Jan. 7.
Visitors to the Princeton, N.J., holiday tradition, can enjoy the museum’s elegant galleries, mantels, and porches festively decorated for the holidays by local businesses, garden clubs, and nonprofit organizations. The artfully designed accents celebrate history, pop culture, sustainably, and superheroes – all created to put you in the spirit of the season.
The 2023 Festival of Trees decorators include Contemporary Garden Club of Princeton, HomeFront’s SewingSpace Program, Lawrenceville Main Street The Landscaping Committee, Mount Laurel Garden Club, Neshanic Garden Club, Nottingham Garden Club of Hamilton Township, Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad, SAVE–A Friend to Homeless Animals, Stony Brook Garden Club, The Garden Club of Princeton, The Present Day Club, The Princeton Garden Theatre, The West Trenton Garden Club, and ToobyDoo Princeton.
In celebration of the exhibition and the holiday season, Morven’s Festival of Trees Winter Garden Party will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 30. Join Morven in its beautifully lit garden to enjoy hearty hors d’oeuvres and spirited beverages surrounded by the warm glow of fire pits and each other’s company. Step inside the museum to vote on your favorite tree or mantel display. And don’t miss the Museum Shop with the unique gifts for which it has become known.
Continue your festive traditions at Morven by attending one of its Holiday Wreath Making Workshops. Sessions will be held at 1 and 6 p.m. both Monday, Nov. 27 and Tuesday, Nov. 28. Create a wreath using a variety of natural decorations from Morven’s gardens, ribbon, and assorted “holiday bling.” No prior experience is required; Morven’s horticulturalist Louise Senior will guide participants and offer advice throughout the session. Tickets are $55 for general admission, $45 for Morven members. The ticket price includes one wreath. Space is limited to 24 participants per session.
Morven Museum & Garden, 55 Stockton St., Princeton, N.J., is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
