Bells have been used for centuries by cultures around the world for a wide range of purposes, including celebrations, communication, ceremony, and calls to action. Learn fascinating details about Meadowlark’s own 6,000-pound Korean bell and the beautifully handcrafted pavilion that houses it while enjoying the seasonal beauty of the Korean Bell Garden.

Volunteer docent Becky Strode will be on hand to share information on the art, fabrication, science, and history of bells.

This is a drop-in activity, which does not require registration, and is free with regular garden admission or membership. Weather permitting.
