Autumnal Festival

A new artist residency in memory of ISU Horticulture Center volunteer Grant Walsh supported two fine arts students making new works for the gardens.

The Illinois State University Horticulture Center is literally going back to "native roots" for this year's Autumnal Festival. The center is honoring the connection to indigenous plants as part of the annual fundraiser for the center on Saturday and Sunday.

Jalen Cunningham is a senior graphic design major at Illinois State University. He was tasked with creating a new clothing line for the ISU Horticultural Center's Autumnal Festival — and one veggie in particular kicked off the whole project.
