Gardens Aglow Design

As the Gardens Aglow Program Manager at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Brent McHale is responsible for designing and coordinating New England’s premier light show, a display that takes 100 people more than 10 weeks to hang the 750,000+ lights. This talk will give an overview of the ten-year history, the annual planning and installation process, what it takes to create a unique and eye-catching display, maintenance (particularly in harsh weather), and how to take down and store all those lights. If you’ve never visited Gardens Aglow, here is your chance to see some of the lights up close.
