Ginkgo Fest: A Celebration of Ginkgo biloba

Saturday, May 11, 11:00am–3:30pm
Weld Hill Research Building, Arnold Arboretum

Join three world renowned ginkgo experts for a celebration of all things ginkgo. The day will include lectures, a tour of the Arboretum’s Ginkgo biloba collection, and lunch with a variety of ginkgo nut dishes. Ginkgo artifacts and illustrations from the Harvard Libraries and collected paraphernalia will also be on display. So don your best ginkgo outfit (we know you have at least one article of clothing with a ginkgo leaf on it) and immerse yourself in the history and biology of this relict species.
