During this talk and tour, Adult Education Coordinator Lauren Lampley will guide the group around the NC Arboretum to check out a few key locations within our gardens. We will discuss the sustainable landscape practices that the Arboretum uses and how those can be in other places as well as special considerations that staff have had to keep in mind when implementing these designs. Be prepared to walk on both paved and gravel trail surfaces and if the group is able we can walk down to check out Bent Creek to see how streambank restoration work held up post-hurricane Helene flooding.
