Nature Ramblers – Canceled

Leaders: Linda Chafin, conservation botanist (retired); Dale Hoyt, biologist and naturalist; Don Hunter, photographer and naturalist

Meet at children’s garden arbor

Join the Nature Ramblers to learn more about the natural areas, flora and fauna of the State Botanical Garden while making new friends and enjoying the fresh air. Rambles start with an inspirational reading by a nature writer such as Annie Dillard, John Muir or Janisse Ray. Ramblers are encouraged to bring their own nature writings or favorite poems and essays to share with the group. This is a ramble not a hike; stopping to view interesting plants, insects, butterflies and mushrooms, etc., along the way is part of the experience each week. You can join for just one or all sessions. These informal rambles are free but donations are accepted in the garden’s donation box in the lobby of the visitor’s center. To get a feel for what these rambles are like visit http://naturerambling.blogspot.com
