Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens will host “Color Storm,” an engaging yarn bombing event throughout March 2025, designed to infuse the landscape with vibrant color and creativity. This initiative brings together local artists and community members to create intricate yarn installations, turning tree trunks into canvases and limbs into displays of yarn pom poms. Eileen Simmons, President of Evergreen Arboretum, highlighted the event's significance in celebrating the intersection of nature and art, encouraging participation from individuals of all ages. The collaborative spirit of local knitters and crocheters aims to foster community connections while providing a unique artistic expression. Visitors are invited to capture and share their experiences on social media, further enhancing community involvement and awareness.

The event not only brightens the surroundings as winter gives way to spring but also emphasizes sustainability, as all yarns will be recycled afterward. As attendees explore the Arboretum, they will discover moments of joy and surprise, transforming their perspectives of this natural space. Color Storm promises to be a captivating experience, inviting everyone to engage with art in a refreshing and playful manner.
