Members: $25 • Non-members: $30

Join us at Morris for a talk-and-walk exploring the Morris's collection of native azalea! First, we will learn about horticulturist Trevor Schulte’s recent trip scouting Rhododendron prunifolium (plumleaf azalea) across their native range in Alabama and Georgia. In this trip, Trevor joined a group from Holden Forests and Gardens to help update GPS coordinates, survey plant populations and health, and search for new populations of this beautiful and fragrant native plant. The trip was successful and they found plenty of shrubs in full bloom, along with lots of other cool plants!  

After a short period of learning indoors, we will head into the garden for a guided walk to see (and smell!) this beautiful plant in our collection.
