Wayne Roderick Lectures Winter 2019 to 2020

Join us for our popular series of free public lectures on a broad array of topics related to plants and natural history. Named in honor of its founder, the Wayne Roderick Lecture Series takes place on Saturday mornings from November through February at 10:30 AM in the Visitor Center Auditorium of the Regional Parks Botanic Garden. These illustrated presentations are enjoyable for beginners and professionals alike. All lectures are free and open to the public. Here is a printable version of the entire schedule of upcoming Wayne Roderick Lectures.

Note: Seating is limited, so it is advisable to arrive early, save a seat, and enjoy the garden until lecture time. (And don’t forget the free docent-led tours of the Garden that begin every Saturday at 2:00 PM and Sunday at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM.) All lectures start at 10:30 AM and last as long as the speaker wants to continue (usually about an hour, but if longer, there is a break after the first hour).
