GardenWalk 2009
Chicago, Illinois, USA

 

July 17-18, 2009: GardenWalk 2009. West Campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago - Dorothy Bradley Atkins Medicinal Plant Garden, Chicago, IL, USA. Located on the West Campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago, the Dorothy Bradley Atkins Medicinal Plant Garden was constructed and is maintained by a generous gift commitment from Dr. Robert A. Atkins to honor his late wife Dorothy, a 1945 graduate of the University of Illinois College of Pharmacy. The garden was dedicated on July 19, 2002.

The Atkins Medicinal Plant Garden contains more than 70 species of medicinal plants, many of which are mainstay drug-producing plants whose products are currently in use in clinical practice around the world. It builds upon the college's long-standing reputation as one of the world's foremost centers of natural products research.

The garden exists not only for educational and research purposes, but also for the enjoyment it offers as an island of beauty on the campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago. The Atkins Garden is located immediately north of the College of Pharmacy, 833 S. Wood Street, and is open to the public.

*Mark Blumenthal, Founder & Executive Director of the American Botanical Council, will be giving a speech about climate change impacting medicinal plants at this event.
