Temple University Ambler 100th Anniversary and Louise Bush-Brown Garden Dedication

In honor of its 100th birthday, Temple University - Ambler will formally dedicate the Perennial Gardens as the Louise Bush-Brown Formal Gardens, June 5 at 2 p.m.

One of the earliest students of the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women, Louise Carter Bush-Brown returned to the school in 1924 as director, and remained in the position into the 1950s, boosting enrollment and establishing degree-bearing programs.

During the program, Campus Executive William Parshall will welcome guests, Ambler Arboretum Director Jenny Rose Carey will speak about the Bush-Browns and the history of the garden, and an official ribbon cutting will be held for the Louise Bush-Brown Formal Garden.

Following the ribbon cutting, guests are invited to tour the gardens, which will wend their way to the Campus Greenhouse for the School of Environmental Design's annual Plant Auction.
