The Wildflower and Mushroom Festivals feature large educational specimen displays with experts on hand to answer questions. A large variety of plants (including many native species), food, natural crafts, books, t-shirts, and educational materials are available for purchase. Children's activities, music, and raffles add to the festivities. Visitors may also take guided tours of the Arboretum to learn about the area's ecology and history.
The Wildflower Festival, co-sponsored by the Native Plant Society of Oregon and Lane Community College, takes place in May on the Sunday after Mother's Day and features extensive displays of Oregon's native and naturalized flowering plant species.
