The Friends of the Lititz Public Library will offer a bus trip to the Morris Arboretum & Gardens on Tuesday, April 15, as a fundraiser for the library. The bus will depart from the library, 651 Kissel Hill Road, Lititz, at 8 a.m. and return to the library by 5:30 p.m.

The Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania was once the private estate of siblings John and Lydia Morris, children of a prominent Philadelphia Quaker family. Established in 1887 in Chestnut Hill, the estate was called Compton.

The land for the estate was initially barren. John and Lydia filled the property with collections of exotic and native trees and shrubs from across the temperate world. The Morrises continued to add land and expand their gardens and features, including the fernery, which is the only remaining freestanding Victorian fernery in North America. Today the garden includes a tree canopy walk, a swan pond, and a traditional English park.

The fee includes a docent-led tour and a box lunch served in the dining tent.

Tickets are available for purchase at the Lititz Public Library. Tickets are not available to purchase through the mail or online. Motor coach transportation will be provided by Elite Coach.
