The Botanical Garden of the Ozarks Arkansas Gardening School is a horticultural symposium for beginner home gardeners, featuring expert-led programs by horticulturists, garden designers, and landscape architects. Through interactive talks and Q&A sessions, participants will learn to create beautiful, sustainable, and successful gardens in the Ozarks.

This year’s event will focus on the connection between gardens and well-being, offering practical tips for creating low-maintenance gardens, accessible design strategies, and tools to make gardening easier for all ages. Attendees will leave inspired and ready to start or enhance their home gardens for greater happiness and health.

At the Earth Day Celebration, guests can explore activities and resources that highlight the importance of protecting our planet. Visitors of all ages can have fun while they learn about sustainability, conservation and climate solutions.
