The 15th annual Spencer Lecture will feature two speakers. Held on Thursday, March 7 at 10:30 and 6:30 p.m. in the Linn-Henley Lecture Hall, it will feature a reception prior to the evening lecture from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. A light reception will be held before the morning lecture beginning at 10 a.m.

This free annual event brings award-winning landscape architect Ben Page to Birmingham Botanical Gardens for an intriguing talk titled “Traditions and Transitions.” The Gardens will also welcome Andrea Wulf for the second year, offering a second lecture in the Spencer Lecture Series to complement Ben Page's talk.

The Spencer Lecture Series is made possible by the Virginia Beeland Spencer Lecture Fund at the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham. The fund was started by the late Williams M. Spencer, III in honor of his wife, the late Virginia Beeland Spencer.
