Botanic Gardens: Seizing the Moment While Imagining the Future

Description

Wednesday, August 14 | 2 - 4 pm

This year marks four decades of Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, and we’re celebrating for the whole year with favorite events as well as exciting new ones. Through our 40th Anniversary theme, “Flourish”, our goal is to honor the work that has come before, celebrate where we are now, and look forward to the transformational changes kicking off in 2024. Our anniversary programming includes a special Speaker Series highlighting the Garden’s past, present, and future.  

Explore the role of public gardens and the importance of making green space and gardens accessible to the community with Oak Spring Garden Foundation President, Sir Peter Crane. Discussion will center on the opportunities that public gardens must seize to remain relevant while doing more to address important societal concerns, especially around the environment. A Q&A will follow his presentation, as will the chance to explore the 40th anniversary Flourish displays and meet our talented horticulture staff. Bloemendaal House will be open with light refreshments and volunteer Garden Guides available to highlight the history of the house and property. 

Event Schedule:

2-3 pm: Lecture and Q&A in the Auditorium 

3-4 pm: Explore the Garden to experience each of the Flourish displays, where Horticulture staff will be available to highlight their design work and answer questions. Bloemendaal House will be the final destination, where we will have light refreshments and an opportunity to learn more about this historic part of our property. 

Fees: Member $15, Non-Member $35
