Sept. 10 at 3:30pm at the Point Loma Assembly, 3035 Talbot St, San Diego, CA 92106 – History of Balboa Park’s Botanical Building with Vonn Marie May (former OB Resident)
Landscape historian and cultural landscape specialist Vonn Marie May will speak about the History of Balboa Park’s Botanical Building.
All land has a history. A ‘deep read’ of the cultural landscape will reveal its origins and intents. Those precedents, or findings, can inform and cue the future. A cultural landscape investigation conducted during land use planning will provide a richer understanding of the past, an account of the present, and more culturally grounded future.– Vonn Marie May
