| Details | Enjoy the golden glow of Eco-Holiday’s “Twilight Tours” at the Osborne Homestead Museum in Derby, Connecticut! On Fridays, December 6, 13, and 20, the museum will present “Twilight Tours” to display the radiant decorations from 4PM to 7PM. For more than thirty years, volunteers have created the gorgeous holiday decorations at the museum. These talented and committed volunteers are Derby Garden Society, Garden Club of Orange, Garden Club of Woodbridge, Long Hill Garden Club, Naugatuck Garden Club, Olde Ripton Garden Club of Shelton, Women Redefining Retirement Milford, and Ye Olde Kellogg Garden Club. For Eco-Holiday, the decorators will transform recyclable and throwaway materials into masterpieces representing eight biomes ranging from the rain forest to the desert. Biomes are “communities of plants and animals living together in a certain kind of climate,” according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Learn about each biome’s uniqueness, the threats to their existence, and how to protect them. Visit the Osborne Homestead Museum and celebrate “Eco-Holiday”! Admission is FREE and donations are accepted.
