What better place to enjoy the beauty of Gods handiwork than at
the Arboretum?
The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is a nationally celebrated
display of garden covering more than 5000 varieties of plants. It
has been named one of Americas 10 great places to smell the flowers
by USA Today.
Our meeting will be in the MacMillan Auditorium in the Visitor
Center. After lunch you are free to explore the Arboretum. Must
sees: The Snyder building that houses the Meyer-Deats Conservatory,
The Gift Shop, and the internationally renowned Anderson
Horticulture Library - home to a large and unique collection of
books on horticulture, gardening, natural sciences and more; and of
course the beautiful grounds!
The gardens are breathtaking. Explore the Three Mile Drive - on
foot, bicycle or by car. The road meanders through the Arboretum
and offers views of many of its gardens, exhibits and collections.
For more close-up exploration, walk the 12 miles of paved paths and
woodchip hiking trails.If need be - bring your umbrella. Its
beautiful even in the rain.
Women United, Coming Together in Christ to Make a Difference, is
a ministry welcoming ladies of all ages and backgrounds. It brings
us together to worship, learn, grow and to fellowship with one
another celebrating what we have in common: our love for our Lord
Jesus Christ!
This Women United got it's start in 2002 at the United Methodist
Church in Arlington, Minnesota by a group of women who love Jesus,
wanting to unify and share their faith with others. We have grown
to now have two Chapters, one based in Arlington and one based in
Fridley. We are interdenominational and encourage the "churched"
and "un-churched" to attend our events. We have three events per
year. Striving for unity, we come together crossing all
denominational boundaries to get 'stirred up' to become all God
wants us to be.
