Houston Botanic Garden

Join Houston Botanic Garden on Texas Arbor Day — Friday 11/6, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. — for an evening of art, nature, and poetry with Dr. Lindsay Gary. Enjoy a discussion and reading of AncesTREE, her evocative collection of poems inspired by trees, the natural world, and ancestral connections. The program will consist of a social mix-and-mingle, a moderated discussion, a poetry reading, and an audience Q+A.

Later Texas Arbor Day weekend, return to the Garden, inspired by Dr. Gary's work, for Standing Tall: A Texas Tree Festival. This full-day, family-friendly event on Sunday 11/8, will feature a kids’ zone with tree-themed crafts and activities, guided walks to view and learn more about native trees around the Garden’s 132-acre site, a marketplace including food vendors, live entertainment, and more.
