How did that happen? In this program, we’ll explore the beginnings of Blandy Experimental Farm as a research arboretum and community resource. We’ll imagine what the property and the surrounding landscape might have been like a century ago, hear personal accounts from the first “Blandy Farmers”, and consider the challenges they may have faced as they pursued pioneering plant genetics research in a sleepy little corner of Clarke County. Join Clarke County Architectural Historian Maral Kalbian and Blandy Director Dave Carr for this peek into the past.What to expect: Talks followed by a discussion in the Blandy library. Time and weather permitting, we may also go on a short walk outdoors to see points of interest featured in the talk.Light refreshments provided (it’s a birthday celebration, after all!).Audience: These programs are designed for adults.Where to meet: The library at the Quarters building.Can’t make it? Recordings of the program will be available online.Registration required.
