The University of California Riverside Botanic Garden (UCRBG) is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a family garden festival. Demonstrations, lectures, a marketplace, and children’s activities are planned for this special event. The Garden is excited to announce the UCRBG Children’s Fund. Visit the festival to learn more about this new fund and how the Garden will begin its next 50 years as a teaching and educational facility promoting environmental sustainability.
Visit ArtPlantae in the garden as it kicks off a Teacher Trunk Show featuring children’s books about plants, instructional books about botanical art and exhibition catalogs showcasing the best of contemporary botanical art.
