Athens has one of the most vibrant and unique downtowns in the Southeast. It is continually reinventing itself through public art to become a creative center that has a huge impact on our community. Downtown's outdoor museum includes the iconic "We Let the Dawgs Out" Bulldawgs; Project Ginkgo lamp post mosaics; murals; and Harold Rittenberry's metal sculptures that tell a story. You'll learn where the ideas for Athens' unique public art come from, how it is funded, and who the artists are. Downtown Athens is truly a work of art.

Dr. Armitage will educate and entertain with his Tales From The Garden. Was there really someone called Joe Pye? Of all the flowers in the world, why is the poppy the flower of remembrance? What do bachelor's buttons have to do with bachelors, and why is a dogwood called a dogwood? It has nothing to do with dogs. Enjoy the stories behind the common names of plants we know. Smile and learn.
