SFA Gardens' Theresa and Les Reeves Lecture Series to feature Moody Gardens director
June 4, 2018
Moody Gardens Director Danny Carson will be the guest speaker for the Stephen F. Austin State University SFA Gardens' monthly Theresa and Les Reeves Lecture Series, slated for 7 p.m. June 14 in the Brundrett Conservation Education Building at the Pineywoods Native Plant Center.
Carson, a Houston native and International Oleander Society board member, began working at Moody Gardens in 1986 as an assistant horticulturist. He is responsible for 142 acres of grounds and wetlands, including all the landscape, irrigation, hardscape, Rainforest Pyramid, interior plants, green houses, gardening programs and events, horticulture therapy, and special projects. Carson said his primary goal is to make Moody Gardens the best it can be.
The Theresa and Les Reeves Lecture Series is held the second Thursday of each month and includes a rare-plant raffle after the program. The lecture is free and open to the public, but donations to the Theresa and Les Reeves Lecture Series fund are always appreciated.
Parking is available at the PNPC and Raguet Elementary School, located at 2428 Raguet St.
