A new and immersive all-ages, family-friendly Halloween light experience in Rockford, Illinois! Visit klehm.org for tickets and more!
Wednesdays - Thursdays - Sundays from 5PM - 9PM
Fridays - Saturdays from 5PM - 10PM
With dramatic LED uplighting of trees and over 14,000 feet of lighting throughout landscapes and gardens, Klehm Arboretum & Botanic Garden will be completely transformed. Visitors can explore Klehm like never before on a half-mile journey through spookily lit landscapes and not-so-scary, family-friendly displays and activities, including:
- Getting lost in the massive (2,500 sq. ft) Children’s Spooky Straw Bale Maze
- Creating lifelong memories with Special Photo-Opportunity Displays
- Shopping at the Ghostly Market for special Halloween items
- Enjoying themed refreshments offered by The Vintage Goose Cafe
- Viewing Haunted Balloon Creations crafted by Ms. Twisty Pants (only on Wednesdays)
- Seeing Rockford’s Biggest Pumpkin, projected to weigh in at more than 1,800 pounds
“A chill in air means that Halloween’s festive spirit is right around the corner, and Eerie Autumn Lights provides an ideal setting for families and individuals to gather, celebrate, and create new memories at this awe-inspiring, first-of-its-kind event for our region,” said Alex Mills, Executive Director, Klehm Arboretum & Botanic Garden. “We look forward to offering a new tradition for visitors to enjoy each fall, and cannot wait to hear the stories and see the photos of the community enjoying this event.”
In addition to the month-long activities, Rockford’s own Master Carver Lincoln Bias from Food Network’s “Outrageous Pumpkins” will be at Eerie Autumn Lights on October 17-19 to begin carving the 1,800-pound pumpkin in front of visitors.
“We’re thrilled to have Lincoln here at home in Rockford for this first-ever event,” said Mills. “This amazing one-of-a-kind experience will astound attendees with the breathtaking skills that will be put on display.”

    Some of your myths seem to revolve around people confusing paw paws and persimmons. American persimmons are better after a frost and do have male and female trees. Whereas Asian persimmons are sweet without a frost (like paw paws). You included confusion with papayas, but not with persimmons. That distinction is important. I very much dislike being misquoted when the person misquoting me is confusing native trees that begin with a "p" and videos like yours might easily help clear such things up. Otherwise it was very informative.

  • @BombaclaatGatofish
    @BombaclaatGatofish ปีที่แล้ว

    Would it be correct to say that even specifically cultivated names (like Peterson's Susquehanna, Shenandoah) seedlings do not grow true to type? Is every single tree which is producing fruit that tastes as expected, grafted? How are the genetics passed on enough to name a particular type? Sorry I'm not quite understanding this concept, and would like clarification on what I might expect from my several differently named seedlings. It's going to take many years to figure out just by growing and tasting.

Note: Humic acids are used ahead of oil rig drill bits as it INSTANTLY fluffs, tills, aerate soil. Hence mulching soil is nearly immediate in generating fertile soil. Sorry college grads. Gardening is easy. Colleges are Satans kidz. World leading method: Wrap bottom 10" high x 8" diameter chicken wire lined stem with leaves & filled with dirt. Thus the stem will sprout more roots higher up. My vases CONCENTRATE CONFINE THE ROOTS (vertically). So important so they dont spread sideways 4' which is brutal on your water bill. World champion tomatoe growers can skyrocket their tomatoe root systems by enclosing 2' stem with vases fill with loose dirt. Quality not quantity. 1monster garden plant can squash 25 typical plants with fruit of vastly superiour quality.

    In an age where designing and moving genes seem so easy as to be trite and the value of life becomes only worth what the NY Stock Market says it is, the idea of devoting one's life to understanding a plant and its development in real time is stunning. Yes, if remotely possible a decent living should be made. Just as important the ecosystem should be living and respected, perhaps even healthier and vital for your having interacted with it. What Neal has accomplished is truly wonderful and will echo through the years and perhaps centuries. I deeply appreciate what he has done.

    Pawpaws grow well in Southern Ontario. I heard of someone growing Pawpaws in Ottawa, Ontario and Brandon Manitoba. But you have to know what you are doing. You have to have a tiny micro climate.

      I am about an hour south of Ottawa and have a few more years until I get fruit. I got my first taste from an Ottawa grower and they grow very readily for him.
