A Gathering of Friends -- Garden lunch & lecture 
General Event Information
Event Category:
Community Events
Price:
$30.00  
Dates and Times:
March 17, 12:30PM-3:00PM
UNL Garden Friends is hosting a luncheon and lecture at 12:30 p.m. Sunday, March 17 (postponed from Feb. 24 due to weather). This new annual event is our major fundraiser to support the UNL Botanical Gardens and Arboretum. The cost is $30 per person.

*A Gathering of Friends* will take place at the Landscape Services Shop
just east of 33rd Street on the East Campus Loop Road and will feature a
soup and salad luncheon, a silent auction and a fabulous lecture by Jan
Riggenbach, whose newspaper and magazine columns have been inspiring
Midwest gardeners for more than 30 years. “Midwest Gardening,” Jan’s
syndicated garden column, appears weekly in newspapers throughout the
region, including the Omaha World-Herald.

Riggenbach’s lecture topic, *“Big Ideas for Smaller Gardens*” is informed by her need to downscale her gardening after a recent move to Omaha. She
and her husband lived on a 30-acre parcel in southwest Iowa.

Riggenbach is the author of “Midwest Gardener’s Handbook” and co-author
(with Ann Lovejoy) of “Ortho’s All About Perennials.” Other book projects
include the plant chapter of “Sunset Midwestern Landscaping,” plant writer
for “HGTV Landscape Makeovers,” and the tree chapter of “Better Homes and
Gardens New Garden Book.” Jan’s writings have also appeared in Midwest
Living since the magazine’s beginning in 1987.

Garden Friends has gathered artwork, photographs, plants and services for
the auction. Join attendees in bidding on photographs by Joel Sartore and
John Keller, artwork by Kay Logan-Peters, and services such as yard clean
up and photography lessons and more.
