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.

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.
