SUMMARY:December Friends First Friday Tulips in December
DESCRIPTION:$12 general admission | $10 for members \n\n\n\n\nRegister Online\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDecember may seem like an odd time to talk tulips\, but it is the perfect time to plant bulbs that will flower next spring. Jim Moneyhun will provide a brief history of tulips\, including the Ottoman Empire’s fascination with the flower and the seventeenth-century Dutch Tulip Mania. He will also suggest tulip species and hybrids most likely to return year after year and discuss practices for planting and protecting tulips from herbivory. \n\n\n\nJim is curator of the Flower Garden and a horticulturist at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia. The Flower Garden extends from the Heritage Garden to the Day Chapel and down the tiered lawns\, which host the Sunflower concert series. He and his team\, consisting of two part-time staff and 10 regular volunteers\, maintain the Flower Garden. He also supervises countless UGA student-volunteers through the Learning-by-Leading program. In the Fall of 2024\, the Flower Garden team planted 8\,900 tulip bulbs and 5\,100 other spring-blooming bulbs. Prior to joining the State Botanical Garden\, Jim worked for 20 years in the public sector\, writing local\, comprehensive plans and administering state and federal grants. \n\n\n\nThe registration deadline is noon on Nov. 28.

SUMMARY:Nature Ramblers
DESCRIPTION:Free \n\n\n\nLeaders rotate among a group of local naturalists and biologists featuring guest guides. \n\n\n\nMeet at children’s garden arbor. \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin 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.
