In partnership with the Global Philadelphia Association, this special exhibition celebrates the 50th anniversary of UNESCO’s World Heritage Convention by exploring the rich heritage of Philadelphia.

WINTER 2023 COURSE: BOTANY SERIES Wild Things: Toward a More Sustainable Natural Garden with Professor Karen Snetselaar
Tuesday, January 17, 2023 - 6:30pm - Tuesday, February 21, 2023 - 7:30pm

For many years some gardeners have been interested in yards and gardens that are more similar to natural habitats than rows of crops. As people spent more time outdoors recently, the concept of “rewilding” some of our more manicured spaces has generated even more attention. This course will begin by exploring why we have the kinds of lawns and gardens we do and then consider alternatives. While there will be some practical information about specific plants that could be used for a more naturally sustainable landscape, the focus of the course will be on helping students assemble the knowledge and resources to design and manage their own yards and gardens.

Lecture: Histories of Historic Preservation in the United States
Wednesday, February 1, 2023 - 6:00pm - 7:30pm

Historic preservation has rarely been a subject taken up by historians. In an effort to address this ironic situation, this talk recounts some of the main themes and critiques shaping the development of built heritage and its preservation in the U.S.—and how this process was itself shaped by periodic reimagining of the American past, as well as by international movements such as UNESCO’s World Heritage Convention.

Speaker: Randall Mason, Professor of City & Regional Planning/Historic Preservation, Weitzman School of Design.
