Carolina Gardener magazine invites you to the 9th annual Carolina Gardens & Gardeners Symposium and Tours in Asheville, NC, on May 5 and 6, 2006. Visit the North Carolina Arboretum, Peter Loewer’s garden and more beautiful gardens in Asheville, plus shop B.B. Barns and the perennial plant sale at the Botanical Gardens at Asheville. Top off your weekend experience with an evening learning from garden authors Felder Rushing and Barbara Pleasant. You’ll lunch at the Arboretum and stay on to see part of the 65 acres of gardens and their new bonsai collection – the largest in the Southeast. Your stop at the Botanical Garden of Asheville will coincide with the garden’s annual native plant sale, which draws selections from nurseries from around the region, and a B.B. Barns, an exceptional regional garden center. If you wish to extend your visit with a tour of the world-famous Biltmore Estate gardens, you can purchase tickets at discounted rates at the hotel where you stay.
We are looking for MGs who might be interested in attending as a group. For more information or to sign on, contact Arlene Hubner at 253-3269 or ahubner@ec.rr.com.
