Bard in the Botanics 2025 (by Lauren Crilly)
"It was such a nice surprise to win tickets to Bard in the Botanics, via the Ferguson Bequest. The performance was wonderful and it was amazing to see live theatre in the Botanics. The Ferguson Bequest is a great service for UofG employees and I would definitely enter again!"
