Secret History of Plants: Phipps After Hours Tour, June 17, 2025 6:30PM

Tues., June 17, 6:30 p.m.- 8 p.m.

Come get a private after-hours tour of the conservatory, when everyone else is gone. With this interactive, sun-down tour of the Conservatory, Boaz will encourage you to think about plants in an entirely new way. Plants aren’t just the building blocks of our gardens – they’re the source of food, medicine, housing, clothing, culture, and so much more! We’ll stroll through Phipps’ collection and discover how plant and human interactions have shaped our world in surprising ways. You may know Boaz as a Pittsburgh celebrity with his Pittsburgh Today Live segment, Yinzer Backstage Pass. He has been a Master Gardener and a volunteer at Phipps for many years. He loves to garden and just welcomed his first child!
