FrederictonBotanicGarden

We're hiring! Seasonal Head Gardener position - closing Jan 31st, details here:frederictonbotanicgarden.com/careers Come help us build our Garden!

It's that time of the year. Do you have a gardener you're buying for? We've got you!

So check our web site frederictonbotanicgarden.com, or follow us on one of the social media sites that if I mentioned it X's childish owner would throttle this post (but it involves the front of your head followed by something you read...)

It's the height of summer and there's SO MUCH going on! Story times, walks and talks, volunteer events, Artist in Residence... I can't keep up!

This is excellent advice at our Garden too!

New date for our postponed Pollinator Garden tour-and-talk! Come out July 26th at 2 p.m.; no charge for admission although we'll happily accept donations toward the work of the Garden.

🎉 Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday to what we believe to be our oldest specimen yet within our #Herbarium collection. This Drosera anglica or commonly known as Great Sundew, we believe was collected in 1813, which makes it a whopping 211 years old today! @HeritageFundCYM

This exciting and beautiful cross is flowering now! Pelargonium anethifolium x Pelargonium fulgidum made by Mike Brown from Australia.

POSTPONED (let's stay out of the rain, shall we?) Watch for a new date soon!

Come see our pollinator garden with a terrific young pollination ecologist (@WideEyed_K )! This Saturday!

Catalpa speciosa, blooming now in the botanic garden! This tree is native to southern Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas - but it's putting on a show for us here now. Look for it along the central corridor near the Rock and Crevice Garden!

Lovely to host Emily Johnson for reading of her children's book "Mitzy's First Time Picking Sweetgrass" - appropriately, in the Wabanaki Healing Garden. Thanks @NatureTrustNB for arranging this event!

Romeo and Juliet in the Garden! Thanks @TheatreUNB for bringing Bard in the Barracks to our Garden. A few scenes from Saturday's show:

For the next 2 weeks the story is There and Back Again - a charming story about an under-the-bed monster who'd like to be a Street Monster. Here are the first two panels - come do the walk to find out how it all goes!

Delighted to have Read NB and Monster Press at the Garden for the launch of the Story Walk! Come any time, all summer, for a walk through the Garden with a story to read.
