Wednesday, July 20, 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm – What’s So Special About Columbus Botanical Garden?

by

The Polly Hill Arboretum in West Tisbury will host its annual Lisina & Frank W. Hoch Memorial Lecture on July 20 at 5:30 pm. Like most public gardens across the U.S., the global pandemic drastically altered how the Columbus Botanical Garden relates to its diverse community. Adriana Quiñones, Executive Director of Columbus Botanical Garden, will share how one public garden made it through the turmoil to actually build a new garden when the world was shut down, and explore how a public garden responds to the needs of its community.
