(Update 6/1/11: Please see our fall/winter 2011 schedule on this blog post)
Sarah P. Duke Gardens’ new education guide is now online. The PDF includes class descriptions, instructor information, meeting times/locations and fees for all classes between January 1 and June 30, 2011, plus summer camp.
Below is a quick rundown of the season’s offerings, including page numbers where you can find more information in our full guide.
(*4/14/11 update: for those seeking information about our outdoor movie series Movies in the Gardens at Twilight, we'll have 2011 information soon. But the theme is animation and the films will be on the four Thursdays in August. We'll also have a special showing of "Play Again," a documentary about the consequences of a childhood removed from nature, on Sept. 15, in partnership with Duke's Nicholas School of the Environment. All films are free and for all ages.)
Remember, if you join Friends of Duke Gardens, you'll get a discount on all classes, among other perks. Duke faculty, staff & students also get the Friends rate.
