Director’s Reception 2022
Thank you for attending the Director’s Reception on Tuesday, July 26, 2022. We were honored and delighted to see so many Garden supporters, celebrate, and connect with our community. We hope you enjoyed the three Discovery Stations hosted by Advisory Board Member Tim Gregory (Cycads), Horticulturists James Fong and Eric Hupperts (Asian Collection), and Advisory Board Member Ron Lutsko, Lutsko Associates (Tropical House).
If you were not able to make the event, you will have future opportunities and we hope to welcome you when the time comes. If you have questions about anything you missed or would like to arrange for a private visit, please reach out to Director of Development Krista Vossekuil by email kristav@berkeley.edu or phone (510) 643-2937.
Please browse our slideshow of images from the event captured by Volunteer Photographer Stephen Woo to whom we are grateful. We would also like to extend special thanks to Crews Cellars, Market Hall Catering, and the Miniwatt String Trio.
