SPRING EVENTS

Open gardens galore, botanizing in Beaufort County and a wonderful Spring Picnic – thanks to all our members, you made this spring so much fun!

SPRING PICNIC, 2022

Rain threatened, but save for a 5 minute drizzle, we had a beautiful day on Saturday, May 14 for a picnic at the home garden of Jim and Anita Hollister.  Everyone thoroughly enjoyed touring the gardens, meeting Scout and spending a relaxing time together. Here are a few photos, lots more to come in the next Trillium newsletter.

We really had a great time touring the Gardens and Caine Conservatory at High Point University with Patrick Moore and Jason Lattier on September 11. The weather, gardens and conservatory were all stunning – it was a great opportunity to see amazing plants in a beautiful setting.  Thanks to Patrick, Jason and High Point University for a fantastic day!

We are so grateful to member Gail Norwood for hosting our May picnic in her lovely garden, Belvedere!!! It was a great opportunity to see old friends and make new ones, after a long time without meetings. Look for Charlie Kidder’s article later this summer in The Trillium newsletter, with more photos and all the details. Here are a few photos:
