We will be back on a Hybrid format for July 12th at 10am in the Auditorium of the BBG. This is not due to health and safety protocols but because our esteemed speaker will be sitting in his office at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. We hope you will all join us to watch together in person but are so excited to have the opportunity once again to connect with all our MG friends who will be at home or at work tuning in for this interesting talk from our nation's oldest and most renowned Botanical Garden!
