Arboretum day

Arboretum Day is an exciting and educational family day for anyone interested in plants, gardens and outdoor life.

There will be entertainment from the stage at Blondehuset, an activity trail for children, lots of inspiration and learning for both adults and children. The Blondehuset café will be open with freshly baked waffles and drinks, and there will be more food offerings with both the Icookkitchen food cart and associations with tastings.

In 2025, we will celebrate 'Outdoor Life Day' by putting extra focus on inclusion and diversity. And if there is one thing you will find in the Arboretum at Milde, it is diversity, both with plants and people.

We will also display construction machinery and tractors. It will be a lot of fun for many of the children and they will get to sit in the driver's seat.
