North American Rock Garden Society (Piedmont Chapter) Lecture

"The Pleasures, Perils and Pains of Plant Hunting Both Near and Far"
Greg Paige, Director of Horticulture, JC Raulston Arboretum

• Saturday, November 23, 2024 – 10:00 am–11:30 am

Cohosted by the Piedmont Chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society and the JC Raulston Arboretum.

Plant collecting and collection trips often conjure up images of pith-helmeted and waistcoat-wearing travelers navigating far- flung locations of the globe to hunt for rare and exotic plants. One or two of those details might be slightly off base. This program with Greg will discuss the why, the where, and the what of plant collecting, both near and far.
