If you would like to be sent news of new programs and reminders of upcoming events, send your name and email address to info@merryspring.org. info@merryspring.org. We will never share or sell your email address.

The talks are offered at $5.00 to the general public and free to Merryspring members. No pre-registration is required. The talks are held in the Ross Center during the colder months, and in the Park's open air Hexagon in the warmer months, surrounded by Merryspring's many theme gardens. Each talk always features plenty of time for questions and answers. Participants are encouraged to come early for the talk and to stroll through Merryspring gardens or along the trails. Also, feel free to bring a brown bag lunch to enjoy during the talk.

Memberships may be purchased at the talk, or anytime between 9 and 2 Tuesday through Friday at the Merryspring office.
