Annapolis Horticulture Society Lectures
Fall 2023
On Tuesday, October 3, at St. Anne’s,
please welcome
Charles Cresson, whose presentation will be
“Exciting Bulbs Beyond Tulips and Daffodils"
Alison Milligan, whose presentation will be
“Global Gardens 2”.
Join us on a safe trip around the globe visiting unique and distant gardens. Alison Milligan, a Master Gardener, and Naturalist will present “Global Gardens 2”, her second installment of “Global Gardens”. She’ll take viewers to historically significant and botanically diverse gardens she has visited and explored. This presentation includes gardens in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the United States. Learn each garden's origin, what makes it unique and perhaps the most fun, see what’s growing in it and why. The gardens were chosen because of their unique climates, which means you’ll see a great diversity of plants and animals – all her own photos. You’ll never visit a garden again without asking a few important questions and taking a finer look at the plants and the life they support.
Alison Milligan is a Master Watershed Steward, Master Gardener, Master Naturalist and a graduate of the Howard County Legacy Leadership Institute for the Environment and the Chesapeake Bay Landscape Professional Program (CBLP).
