Have you ever wondered why so many plants that grow in our gardens hail from Asia? Or, have you ever wondered why so many plants native in the southeastern U.S. have relatives growing in eastern Asia or southern Europe? If so, join Todd Lasseigne, JCRA Assistant Director, in a tour of the world flora through the JCRA collections. He'll answer these questions and more on this early spring tour.
This tour is scheduled to begin near the waterfall cascade by the entrance to the Ruby C. McSwain Education Center at the JC Raulston Arboretum and is free and open to the public. Plantsmens Tours last from one and half to two hours. Please call (919) 515-3132 if you need additional information about this tour.
