Outstanding North Carolina Mountain Wildflowers
Speaker: Tim Alderton,
Research Technician & Horticulturalist Extradordinaire, JC Raulston Arboretum
This talk will take you from the northwest corner to the southwestern border of North Carolina. Some species will be familiar as they reach their southern limits, while others can only be found in the southern Appalachians. Thousands of species grow in this area. We will only touch on some of the best and most charismatic species, found in habitats ranging from the highest peaks to the moist woodland coves and other unique ecosystems in these mountains.
Lori Chips and Don Dembowski will be vendors of specialty plant sales, and sales will take place both before and after the presentation. Here’s your chance to stock
up on Lori’s alpines, succulents and troughs, and Don’s home-grown hardy
ferns, succulents, and hepaticas.
The Center is located at 208 West 13th Street, between 7th and Avenues.
