The Cultivators
Conceived in January 2016, the Waterfront Botanical Gardens Cultivators is a young professionals group for earth-lovers who are interested in connecting with other like-minded friends on the principles of environmental education, sustainability, and strengthening cultural life in our hometown.
The Cultivators Council is the leadership group of the Cultivators and operates under the umbrella of Waterfront Botanical Gardens. The goal of the Council is to promote and advocate for the Waterfront Botanical Gardens’ development and upcoming opening within a younger demographic through monthly, consistent, and free touch-base events with a focus on education, conservation, community, and fun.
Interested in becoming a leader by joining the Cultivators Council? Email Allison Whitehouse at awhitehouse@waterfrontgardens.org to learn more.
