Event Description

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”  Many tropical trees have a lifespan into the thousands of years; however, some Naples trees may only survive until the next new homeowner renovates his landscape. With modern machines and a little horticultural understanding, we can successfully relocate these arboreal giants to Naples Botanical Garden, where lucky trees can find a new life. We call these legacy trees and Brian Galligan will tell the many stories of how Naples Botanical Garden’s collections came to be.

  • Wednesday, April 25
  • 10am-12pm, FGCU Kapnick Center Buehler Auditorium at Naples Botanical Garden
  • $15 Members / $20 Non-Members

Brian Galligan’s love for plants began early. At the age of thirteen, Brian managed his own landscape design, installation, and maintenance company.  After graduating from Auburn University with a horticulture degree, Brian moved to Naples, Florida, to learn a new and interesting plant palette.  At Naples Botanical Garden, Brian has worked with landscape architects to create the Asian, Brazilian, Caribbean, Children’s, Florida, and Water Gardens.
