An always sold-out fundraiser event, the Hellebore Tea brings together many of the area’s garden clubs and Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation supporters for an afternoon of entertainment and socializing, when the beautiful hellebores are in full bloom.

Community members come together and work hard to help tackle some big projects around the Arboretum and others – all in one day. Everyone is welcome to volunteer, from toddlers to seniors and everyone in-between. Over the past several years, the Rotary Club of Maple Valley and the City of Maple Valley have partnered to bring volunteers and projects together.
