Join the Nature Ramblers every Thursday at 9 AM to learn more about the State Botanical Garden’s natural areas, flora and fauna while making new friends and enjoying the fresh air. Leaders rotate among a group of local naturalists and biologists featuring guest guides.
Meet at the children’s garden arbor. 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.
