Winter/Spring 2021 Virtual Programs

In 2020, during the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Garden Conservancy launched virtual programs featuring leading voices in horticulture and design, and the cultural connections between people and gardens. In 2021, we expanded our virtual programs and presented a variety of experts from the garden world and two special virtual program series devoted to exploring the cultural importance of gardens.
