This year’s festival was made possible through support from the Kiwanis Foundation of Morgantown, Cheat Lake Animal Hospital and Feline Veterinary Care of Morgantown, and the WVU School of Dentistry.
“Certainty here at the garden, people come out to see our colors, and that process your learning what trees do, how the seasons change,” Education Director at the West Virginia Botanical Garden Abigail Waugh said.
Organizers said the event continues to be one of the garden’s most anticipated traditions, offering a way for families to enjoy the outdoors while welcoming the fall season together.
