The Georgeson Botanical Garden Society will host a Spring Green Up fundraiser from 5-8 p.m. Saturday, April 15, at The Hub.

The community is invited to meet members of the society and fellow gardeners and to discover what’s new at the Georgeson Botanical Garden in 2017, including summer events and a design competition. Attendees may also sign up to volunteer or make a donation. There will be a silent auction and door prizes.

The event is free, but donations are appreciated. Hors d’oeuvres, tea and coffee will be served. The Hub is located at 410 Second Ave.

The Georgeson Botanical Garden Society is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to support the botanical garden at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
