Start your morning at 11:00 am with a cup of Elm Coffee Roasters at Windthrow in Capitol Hill, where you can meet your community and grab any gear you may need for the season. At 11:45 am we’ll all carpool to the Arboretum where you’ll head out for an easy 3.4 mile hike, enjoying changing colors of fall foliage and identifying plants. Spend this Saturday in the botanic beauty of an autumn day at the arboretum.
