Lifelong Learning
in the
Gardens
Students learn from Director of Horticulture Andrew Hagerty in WBG’s seasonal “Gardens Highlights Walk & Talk” program.
F rom culinary exploration, creating works of art, and digging in the dirt, lifelong learners experience all this and more at Waterfront Botanical Gardens. The Gardens’ Adult Education offerings welcome all skills and abilities with 100+ year-round programs and workshops. Visiting Waterfront Botanical Gardens is free. As a nonprofit organization, programs support the Gardens’ mission to educate, inspire, and enhance the relationship between plant life and a healthy environment . Nourish your mind and body with our Heart, Mind, Spirit Series and Garden-to-Fork Culinary Series . Programs include yoga, pilates, silent meditation, and a variety of cooking and mixology classes for every palate and skill level. For both new and experienced gardeners, Gardens Highlights Walk & Talks led by a staff horticulturist are engaging, educational tours of the Gardens focused on design, what’s in bloom, and seasonal garden lessons. The Gardens even offer Japanese Cultural Programs in partnership with the Japan/America Society of Kentucky, including classes teaching Japanese calligraphy and Japanese festival dance Bon Odori . Budding artists are invited to try their hand at plein air painting, creating a succulent centerpiece, or many other botanical-inspired art forms. For young learners, the Gardens also offer Youth and Family Programs . Gardens Storytime returns every other Thursday beginning August 3rd. From our staff and local experts to cultural partners across Kentuckiana, Waterfront Botanical Gardens is excited to share knowledge and enthusiasm with students from all walks of life.
