Education Expansion at CBG in 2010 CBG will be improving the educational opportunities at the Garden in several important ways. From elementary school field trips and scout programs to expanded adult seminars, CBG will continue to strive to provide unique horticulture-based education opportunities for the community. In addition, CBG has partnered with Columbus State University's Continuing Education Department to offer both gardening and other classes at CBG. Please go to the "Garden Events" page for details on upcoming seminars and events. For more information regarding the education expansion click on "What's Growing On".

For the third year, CBG has partnered with Keep Columbus Beautiful and has been a drop off location for Christmas trees during the holiday season. Over 35 trees were dropped off between December 26 and January 9. On Saturday, members of KCB, Delta Teens, and six CBG volunteers worked together to turn the trees into mulch for the Joann Holt Walking Trail (Left). Come enjoy the Walking Trail and its new mulch! The Garden is open during daylight hours.
