America Grows

America Grows

 

July 4, 2026, marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. We’re celebrating by showcasing the history we know best: gardens.

 
 

 

Flip through the first known American cookbook. Visit outdoor garden displays and explore your cultural connections to different plants. Discover how gardens reflect the resilience of the American people, and celebrate the ways they create and sustain community. Stop by the Regenstein Center to see the main exhibition. Find details on special tours, artistic activities, and learning opportunities below. All are free with admission.
