Learn how the grounds surrounding UD's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources evolved into the present day Botanic Gardens. We'll explore how early teaching specimens and research plots developed into dynamic landscapes that now serve students, visitors, and lifelong learners. Following this brief presentation, we'll tour the future site of the Townsend East Lawn and Garden, a transformative space that will convert an existing parking lot into a welcoming and connective greenspace. Attendees will receive a small plant or seed packet to take home at the program conclusion.

Tours will be offered at 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.
