The Wellesley College Botanic Gardens have some exciting new research gardens that are engaging students in multiple ways. On Tuesday, October 15, from 1 – 3, journey along with Kristina Jones, Director of the Botanic Gardens, and explore through the eyes of an ecologist the Creighton Educational Garden, the green roof planted with native species, the Climate Change Monitoring Garden, and the in-progress Edible Ecosystem Teaching Garden, all within a short walk from the starting point at the Greenhouse Visitor Center. The tour is offered in collaboration with New England Wild Flower Society and Friends of Wellesley College Botanic Gardens. WCBG members $24, non-members $28. Sign up at www.wellesley.edu/wcbgfriends, or call 781-283-3094.
