Fall is for Planting: A Native Plant Garden Tour

This event is a guided walking tour focused on the benefits of planting native species during the autumn season. Experts from the Library of North Carolina Government and Heritage Library and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences will lead participants through the Native Plant Meadow and the Native Plant Garden to demonstrate why fall serves as the optimal time for landscape development in our region.

Attendees will explore local ecosystems while learning practical tips for successful native gardening. The experience features a half mile round trip journey along paved sidewalks through two prominent outdoor locations. You will gain direct insights into plant selection, seasonal timing, and the specific advantages of establishing native roots during the cooler months. Staff will be on hand to answer questions regarding local environmental practices and heritage preservation.

This tour is designed for home gardeners, nature enthusiasts, and anyone interested in sustainable landscaping. The outdoor atmosphere encourages active participation and learning in a professional setting. We invite you to join us for this educational walk to improve your gardening success. Please prepare for walking outdoors and join our community of native plant supporters.
