Socially Distant Botanical Sketching
Our Chapter is organizing a small group of attendees to visit Tower Hill Botanical Garden and do socially distant botanical sketching in the outdoor garden areas. This group is limited to 12 participants, and you will need to preregister with Carol Schwartz or Mei Leung by June 10th to secure your place. To help spread out visitors, Tower Hill is staggering entry times, and we need to enter the garden during our assigned 1.5 hour entry time then we can stay until the garden closes at 5 PM.
*** Rain date is Thursday, June 18th ***
