Ricardo Austrich, ASLA, and Iris Lin, ASLA, will lead a spirited tour of the award winning Asa Gray Garden along with a horticultural walk through this hallowed landscape. We’ll end at Donohue’s for some fun and light-hearted conversation, all thanks to the generous support of Maglin Site Furniture. Say hi to old friends and meet someone new! All are welcome. .
