In addition to 65,000 new plantings in June with 300 tropical elephant ears and 500 cannas, the arboretum will be blooming with events of all shapes and sizes as it blossoms with jubilance these coming months.
The Great Contributors exhibit by artist Gary Lee Price is set to continue through August 6 highlighting the achievements of such icons as Harriet Tubman, Amelia Earhart, Mother Teresa, Joan of Arc, William Shakespeare, and returning favorite Albert Einstein.
According to a recent release by the Arboretum, renowned sculptor Gary Lee Price will return to the Arboretum on June 9 to “share his spectacular new exhibition of works in bronze as well as live sculpting demonstrations at 10:30 am and 1 pm.”
