A Message from Renee Verma

6/27/24

Dear Friends of the LSU AgCenter Botanic Gardens,

I am thrilled to introduce myself as the incoming Chair of Friends of the LSU AgCenter Botanic Gardens. My name is Renee Verma, and I'm a passionate advocate for the beauty and importance of our gardens. I'm excited to work with all of you to ensure our gardens continue to thrive.

The LSU AgCenter Botanic Gardens rely heavily on the dedication of our volunteers. Volunteers are the backbone of Burden from helping with special events and educational programs to assisting with plant care and maintenance.

Friends will be focused on exciting events such as Music in the Gardens in the fall and Louisiana Lights this holiday season.  We will be seeking enthusiastic individuals to join our Friends volunteer team, so please stay tuned.

I would like to thank Kevin Langley for serving as the Friends Chair over the last few years – his vision, leadership, and passion for Burden are unmatched!

Your continued support of the LSU AgCenter Botanic Gardens allows us to shine a bright light on one of the best-kept secrets in Baton Rouge – working together let’s share Burden and its beauty with the community!

Sincerely yours,

Renee D. Verma 
Chair, Friends of the LSU AgCenter Botanic Gardens
