It’s Amorphophallus season at the Conservatory! Leaves and blooms from these co**se flower relatives are growing throughout the galleries.

Huge thanks to our honorees Ruth and Ken Wilcox for their inspiring remarks and to our special guest speaker author Margaret Renkl who reminded us that planting a garden, no matter how small, provides joy and resilience in uncertain times. We are so grateful to our generous sponsors, Gala committee, board, and staff who helped make this happen. 🌸
