California Botanic Garden welcomes you to celebrate words amongst the wildflowers with A Garden of Verses Poetry Festival.

Kicking off both national Poetry Month and CalBG's Wildflower Month, guests are invited to walk the paths amongst spring blooms and happen upon multiple poetry stations scattered throughout the Mesa gardens. All ages are welcome at this celebration of the power of poetry to increase our bond with nature. Join us for hands-on poetry activity stations where you will be guided in creating your own nature poetry, and listen to local poets recite verses reflecting on the themes of NATURE, GARDENS, the ENVIRONMENT, and the HEAVENS.

‍This event is free with Garden Admission.
