Public Programs
There are currently no new programs.
Educational programs are free and open to all. These span a wide range of plant-related topics, from hands-on horticultural workshops, to invited speakers, guided garden walks, and student-led events and exhibits. Some programs are collaboratively hosted/sponsored. Contact us at wcbgfriends@wellesley.edu if you are interested in developing collaborative public programs.
Beginning Sept. 1, 2023: Our Botanical Art certificate program and botanical art classes have moved to a wonderful new home which can better serve on-site classes, at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society at Elm Bank (just a few extra minutes down the street from us). To continue taking classes, please register at their website. Contact Eileen Sprague, esprague@masshort.org with questions. WCBG Friends members are able to retain their membership discount for 1 year, after which they will need to attain a Mass Hort membership for continued discount rates. This program is no longer affiliated with Wellesley College Botanic Gardens and donations to Mass Hort are not related to our programs. We welcome artists and students to continue engaging with our gardens and programs in new ways! Thank you for your support.
