Some gardens have the power to transport you to another part of the world—and our new South American Garden is one of them. Brought to life by our newest horticulturist, Evan, this garden transforms an old bed into a vibrant space where we're trialing some of the plants our Director Mark collected on his recent trip to Uruguay. In this program, Evan will share the process behind this renovation and highlight some of the standout plants now calling our South American Garden home. Whether you're curious about garden design, fascinated by global plant diversity, or simply love seeing a transformation from the ground up, this is one not to miss.
