UNC Charlotte Botanical Gardens and the UNC Charlotte English Department are collaborating to bring a free Earth Day program to the community.
Gardens and Verses: An Earth Day Celebration is an event cosponsored by the Department of English and the Botanical Gardens. Several stations will offer attendees the opportunity to learn how to write in specific genres of poetry as well as to contemplate the particular natural settings the gardens have to offer.
A literary scavenger hunt will familiarize participants with the wide range of plants contained in the gardens. There will be literary readings and an “open mic” for those who wish to share original work.
Some light snacks will be provided.
This is a free event.
The event will take place Thursday, April 19th, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
