Details

Start your Saturday the Asheville way — with a beautiful walk through the NC Arboretum and coffee after.

Spring is in full swing and the gardens are gorgeous right now. We'll take a relaxed walk through the Arboretum's trails, enjoy the views, and then grab coffee together at The Arbor Eatery on-site.

The Plan:

• 9:30 AM — Meet at the NC Arboretum main entrance/visitor center

• Walk the garden trails at a conversational pace (not a hike — wear whatever shoes you want)

• ~11:00 AM — Grab coffee and hang out

• Wrap up around noon

What to Know:

• Parking is $25/car at the Arboretum — consider carpooling! (Free for Arboretum members)

• Many of the trails are paved or boardwalk — strollers and dogs on leash are welcome

• Bring a water bottle and sunscreen

• This is a walk, not a workout — the pace will be relaxed and social

Why This Event:

Sometimes the best way to meet people is side by side, not face to face. Walking together makes conversation easy and natural — no awkward small talk, just good company in a beautiful setting. This is an Asheville Transplants event — open to anyone newer to the area looking to build genuine friendships. Come solo or bring a friend. All are welcome.

Look for the Asheville Transplants sign at the visitor center entrance at 9:30 AM!
