Our public programs provide an opportunity for visitors of all ages and backgrounds to come together to deepen their understanding of the connections between botany, gardening, history, culture, and sustainability. These educational experiences are designed to be informative and engaging for all participants. 

This program is the first installment in a two-part series:

Bittersweet Beauties

Some of the most charming plants have a dark side. Participants will learn about attractive but invasive species that should not be planted, and alluring poisonous plants that must be treated with caution. Building a deeper understanding of these plants can enhance our appreciation for the plant world. 

Session 1: Troublesome Temptations - Invasive Species (June 23)

Session 2: Dangerous Delights - Poisonous Plants (June 30)
