Description
This year’s conference theme, Many Hands, Light Work, celebrates both the invaluable role light plays in the greening of our city and the beacon that is community. We are delighted that Zoë Schlanger, acclaimed author of The Light Eaters, will deliver this year’s Wilbur A. Levin Keynote Address, illuminating the secret lives and hidden wonders of the plants around us. Participate in workshops, explore BBG’s grounds, and network with NYC greening organizations at a conference that has had Brooklyn lit up with excitement for over 40 years.
A limited number of spaces for workshops, tours, and talks, including the keynote, will be available for walk-up registration starting at 10 a.m. Sessions will fill up, so be sure to reserve admission and arrive early! The entry gate at 990 Washington Avenue opens at 9 a.m. Online advance registration for ticketed sessions has closed.
Please note that if you have already registered online for a morning or afternoon session, you may still join the walk-up line for an additional session. Remember, non-ticketed activities in the Palm House, Rotunda, and Conservatory are open to all from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
