How can we inspire the next generation of environmental stewards? Join Smithsonian Gardens for special tour of three gardens featured in our campus-wide exhibition, Growing Tomorrow to find out. Experience the way gardens can lift our spirits in the Mary Livingston Ripley Garden, consider how nature can spark innovation in the Kathrine Dulin Folger Rose Garden, and explore personal connections to gardens past and present in the Enid A. Haupt Garden. The session will conclude with interdisciplinary garden-themed activities that you can replicate with your students that center gardens as civic spaces where the arts, sciences, and humanities meet.

Where To Meet:

Meet between 9:45 am - 10:00 am outside the north entrance of the Arts and Industries Building (AIB) on Jefferson Drive. The group will gather by the benches in the Kathrine Dulin Folger Rose Garden, to the right of the entrance to AIB. Session programming takes place from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm.
