The Winter Lecture Series began in 1997 to bring inspiring and noted speakers to the region to talk about horticulture, landscape design and history, plants and plant exploration, and home gardening. Past speakers have included such luminaries as Marco Polo Stufano, Dan Hinkley, Penelope Hobhouse, Bill Cullina, Fergus Garrett, Debs Goodenough, Dr. Michael Dirr, Ken Druse, Anna Pavord, Thomas Woltz, Margaret Roach, Tom Coward and Charles Birnbaum. Proceeds from ticket sales support the Garden’s educational efforts. 

Our 25th annual Winter Lecture will be held on Saturday, February 19 and features Edwina von Gal, Principal Landscape Designer, Edwina von Gal + Co. and founder / president of Perfect Earth Project.
