ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Then, from 7-9 p.m., explore the exhibition, enjoy food and drink, and chat with the curatorial staff and special guests. Admission is free but space is limited; please register HERE.

 

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Evergreen’s new major exhibition, A History of Houseplants, explores the forces that catalyzed the Victorians’ obsession with houseplants, reveals how the trend manifested at Evergreen and in Baltimore, and examines how today’s houseplant craze both recalls and differs from the Victorian version of 150 years ago. Admission to the exhibition is free. Exhibition on view in Evergreen’s North Wing Gallery, Tuesday-Sunday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. through June 4, 2023.

 

SPONSORS
