SUMMARY:Wild Hope: A WTTW Screening and Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Register \n  \nJoin WTTW on Saturday\, April 13 at 1:00 pm at the Garfield Park Conservatory for an in-person WILD HOPE series event. WILD HOPE is a collection of short films highlighting the intrepid changemakers who are working to restore and protect our planet. \nEach half-hour episode inspires audiences with stories of bold interventions\, unexpected alliances\, and nature’s resilience. This event will feature episode 4: Does Nature Have Rights? Ecuador is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet\, yet its wild spaces are also among the most threatened. In 2008\, the country became the first nation in the world to enshrine the “rights of nature” in its constitution—granting wild species their own legal rights to exist. Today\, conservationists are putting that powerful tool to the test as they battle to save the country’s biodiversity. \nWTTW Reporter Patty Wetli will moderate a lively conversation featuring Amy Doll\, director of Friends of Illinois Nature Preserves; Judy Pollock\, president of Chicago Bird Alliance\, and Edward Warden\, Community Stewardship Program Manager\, The Nature Conservancy. Learn about local environmental initiatives and steps you can take to become a changemaker. \nASL Interpretation will be available at this screening. If you have any additional accommodation needs\, please reach out to us at access@garfieldpark.org.

SUMMARY:Spring Flower Show: What's In A Name?
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Spring Flower Show\, What’s in a Name?\, explains the history and science of botanical nomenclature alongside a beautiful flower show full of blooms.  Plant names are an important way of communicating history\, culture\, and identity. In addition\, because there are many plants with the same common name\, or many common names for the same plant\, knowing the botanical name helps people know exactly which plant is which. Learn about how to identify plants amongst stunning spring blooms like Tulipa ‘Rococo’\, Lilium ‘Josephine’\, Viola ‘Matrix Yellow’ and Anemone ‘Giant Blue Poppy’. \n\n\nThe Spring Flower Show opens on February 14th\,  and runs through May 12th\, 2024\, in the Show House and is included with every reservation.
