Asheville Botanical Gardens nature walk

Meet 10 AM Thursday May 21 2026 Botanical Gardens at Asheville 151 Weaver St AV. 28804.Meet in the parking lot. Look for RFAR signs. Meg is the guest host for this..Thanks. The Botanical Gardens at Asheville is a 10-acre independent, non-profit botanical garden dedicated to the study and promotion of the native plants and habitats of the Southern Appalachians. Walk the grounds with Meg as our guest guide for about 2 miles. This is a nature type walk where we will be stopping to look at plants. There is a 'Moon Tree' grown from the seed of a tree taken on the 1971 Apollo 14 mission. If we add in a little of the UNCA Perimeter Trail we can get about two good miles. There is also a patch of Oconee Bells - a rare wild flower that folks might like to see. It is not a strenuous hike but walking sticks would be a plus. It is a mix of shade and sun, some gravel, some wooded trail, no pavement walking. Free but please bring $$ for donations. (Thanks) . Bring picnic lunch to leave in your car. Bring a chair and we will plan to picnic in the gazebo. Hope you can make it. Ben 561 425-3077 [bbsdob525@aol.com](mailto:bbsdob525@aol.com)
