The 2024 presentation series, brought to you by the Friends of Allen Centennial Gardens in partnership with the garden, will include 3 sessions, one each in January, February and March. The first two sessions will be virtual and the third will be in person in the Horticulture Building at 1575 Linden Dr on campus. 

The programs will reflect different aspects of Allen Garden’s 2024 theme, “Enchanted Ground”. How can the use of plants, installations and other garden features create a magical place? How are societies and individual creativity reflected in gardens through history and across cultures? How can our individual perspectives and interests be infused into an “enchanted” space of our own?

Registration is required. $15 per session/ Free for FACG members.
