Learn that change can be good with new fall exhibit and train show, “Autumn Changes: Change can be Good,” in the Conservatory at Westchester’s public garden, Lasdon Park, Arboretum and Veterans Memorial, in Somers, which opens Friday, Oct. 9. Dates, times and tickets available at LasdonPark.org.
The new exhibit follows a fallen little Tupelo Leaf, who doesn’t want to change his colors and sets off on a journey to understand why it is so important for leaves to change color in fall. The 2,400 square foot exhibit features four giant G-scale train layouts with over 300 feet of track, surrounded by miniature landscapes and animated characters tucked within an array of colorful plants, flowers, shrubs and trees.
Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “Lasdon’s new exhibit and train show is art imitating life as we have had to quickly adjust to changes this year. The exhibit is not only a beautiful fall feature, but a wonderful learning tool for children.”
