Plant-Lover’s Tour - “Follow Your Nose pt. 2”

Описание: Presented by Dennis Carey, Curator, JC Raulston Arboretum on October 7, 2025.

Love plants? So do we! Back in May, our Plant-Lover's Tour took us on a fragrant adventure through the arboretum, stopping to sniff every pretty-smelling thing the garden could throw at us. It was such a hit we're doing it again, but this time autumn takes the stage, with cooler air, richer scents, and plants showing off surprising fragrant tricks. Our curator, Dennis Carey will lead the way, guiding you toward whatever's wafting on the breeze — from flowers and foliage to the occasional bark or root that smells far better than you'd ever believe. Come prepared to follow your nose wherever it leads… and maybe even discover your new favorite plant before you leave!
