Members of the Latin American Ethnobotanical Garden's Advisory Board discuss plans and ideas at Casa Amarilla on March 18, 2025

On Tuesday, March 18, 2025, most members of the newly formed Latin American Ethnobotanical Garden's Advisory Board - a multidisciplinary group of scholars and residents of the Athens community - held a highly productive first meeting at LACSI's Casa Amarilla.
The Advisory Board will offer guidance and support to the work of Nunally Benzing, garden curator, and UGA Ecology Senior graduating intern, Sara Piña-Serrano, under co-management of the Institute for Native American Studies (INAS) and LACSI.
We cannot wait to share all the exciting news and activities - including the garden's renaming - that we are preparing for the coming year with you!

A message from LAEG Curator:
For the remainder of the semester, I will be in the garden on Tuesdays, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Wednesdays 12:00 and 4:00 p.m.
Please feel free to swing by and I'll put you to work weeding, shoveling mulch and/or cutting things back... or we can just talk about plants.
If you are interested and can't make it during these times, reach out to me at Nunally.Benzing@uga.edu and we'll see what we can make work.
