Since its opening in 2020, Woolsey Hall has welcomed tens of thousands of visitors — from students and faculty to architectural, artistic and recreational enthusiasts. As the proud home of the Barton School of Business, it continues to captivate individuals from around the globe. Over the weekend of May 31, that number grew significantly, as more than 5,000 guests toured the grounds to experience the Kay Woolsey Gardens, one of six featured locations in the annual Garden Tour sponsored by the Sedgwick County Extension Office’s Master Gardener Program.
“We were honored and excited to be selected for this year’s garden tour,” said Dr. Larisa Genin, dean of the Barton School. “At the Barton School, we believe in blooming — in our students, our community and the vibrant plant life that surrounds Woolsey Hall and the Promise Bridge. The gardens reflect both the natural beauty within us all and the resilience it takes to grow in any environment.”
