Winter may quiet the garden, but it doesn’t have to quiet your passion. Gardening with Gusto, the JC Raulston Arboretum’s Winter Symposium, is designed to stoke the fires of curiosity, creativity, and love for plants during the cold months, so you can head into spring inspired and energized.
This morning symposium is for anyone who loves plants and gardening—whether you’re just starting out or have spent years nurturing your landscape. Through a series of engaging presentations from passionate horticulturists, you’ll be reminded why gardening captures our hearts and how it continues to connect us to nature, our communities, and each other. Along the way, you’ll cultivate joy, spark ideas, and gather inspiration to bring back to your own garden.
Gardening with Gusto is offered both in person and online, so you can join us no matter where you are. Recordings of all presentations will also be available to attendees, making it easy to revisit the ideas and inspiration that resonate most.
