July Continuing Ed - A Special Tour of Our Own Rotary Botanical Gardens

Thursday, July 11, 9:30 a.m.

RPMGA’s July program may challenge your assumption that you know Rotary Gardens
well. Come join MGV Art Hilker, who regularly leads tours at Rotary, and bring your own
knowledge of the gardens to share. 

Here’s what Art has to say about this tour:
“We'll plan to spend approximately two hours-wrapping up no later than noon.  While I
plan to lead the tour, I will be asking the group to share any information they feel that the
rest of us could benefit from.  That may pertain to plants, a particular garden or historical
info pertaining to RBG.  We will try to do that and still get done by noon.  
Our tour will include: 

• The remarkable history of RBG
• Eyebrow raising factoids 
• Hardscape/physical characteristics of the gardens
• Horticultural content/characteristics of the gardens
• Therapeutic aspects of the gardens 

I have arranged for Ken Connor, another RBG guide to drive the cart.  He will drive alongside
the group enabling me to concentrate on the tour itself.  There is room for 5 passengers.  If
more than that would appreciate riding, perhaps there could be a bit of alternating
passengers.”

Should be a memorable outing!

Note: If you are a Rotary Gardens member, please bring your membership card. This will
speed up the check-in process.  All who visit the gardens are issued wrist bands.

Fee: None. RPMGA will cover the cost.

Date/Time: Thursday, July 11, 2019; 9:30 a.m.

Meeting Place: Parker Education Center (the main public entrance)

Note: This is an approved Continuing Education program.  MGVs will receive 1 Continuing Education Unit (CEU) for each hour of participation.
