The Cleveland Botanical Garden will have a brand-new winter exhibit, Frost. Frost will completely transform the Botanical Garden with new set pieces and sounds. Frost takes place November 18 – December 31, and in addition to the exhibit itself, there will be special events and activities taking place. Volunteers will engage our visitors in children’s crafts, at special events and other ways. You can view the full list of Frost volunteer opportunities here.
