The K-State Gardens are celebrating a milestone birthday in 2025.
More than 200 people filled the K-State Alumni Center Saturday for a luncheon to kick off a year-long 150th anniversary celebration of the gardens.
K-State President Richard Linton announced a $150,000 donation to the gardens from the university to celebrate 150 years. In his welcoming remarks, he said he and his wife, Sally, walk the campus each week — except last week because there were 15 inches of snow on the ground — and several of their routes include the gardens at 1500 Denison Ave.
