Karen Schmidt's presentation will cover the history and role of the Traverse City State Hospital’s farm and the Botanic Garden’s progress in the creation of a public garden at the site of the former farm. Using past and present photos, you will see the many ways the garden has incorporated the site’s history into this unique garden.
Karen worked in the field of education for 35 years, as a speech therapist, teacher, learning disability consultant and elementary school principal. She has a B.A., M.A. and Ed.Sp. degree in the field of education.
