The Sowing Circle Series will hold a free Zoom presentation on identifying and preventing common invasive plants in WNC.
Non-native invasive plants introduced into North Carolina are causing problems for our native plant and animal species. These plants are taking over our natural areas, parks, forests, urban environments, yards, and gardens. We have invited Barb Harrison, Buncombe County Extension Master Gardener, to teach you how to recognize and identify the most common invasive plants in our area and how to reduce their spread.
Registration required. This talk is sponsored by Black Mountain Blooms Seed Lending Library and Buncombe County Extension Master Gardener Volunteers. Come join our gardening community and grow with us!

Presenter: Nina Shippen, Landscape Designer and Owner, Hidden Road Landscape Design
Designing a landscape is like creating a sculpture that we walk through. We are shaping space. What does the design of that space contribute to a satisfying experience in the garden? On the other hand, what detracts from it?
During this talk, we will explore design fundamentals such as scale, balance, coherence, context, texture, and color. We will review the landscape design process, starting with the all-important site assessment. Insights gleaned from both successes and failures will be salted throughout the presentation.
Come join us and find your landscaping answers.
Registration: The talk is free but registration is required. Please click on the link below to register. If you encounter problems registering or if you have questions, call 828-255-5522.

Join a guided tour of Historic Oakdale Cemetery, Hendersonville’s municipal cemetery which whispers stories of the town’s early days. The famous Italian marble monument which inspired the title of Thomas Wolfe’s novel Look Homeward, Angel is in Oakdale, along with both marked and unmarked graves of historic figures. The heritage of the local African-American community is told in the Black section of the cemetery, while the designated Jewish cemetery reveals how the town grew to embrace ethnic and religious groups through the years. How and why the cemetery was created, names of those who helped build the town and where they were laid to rest, where the Sunshine Lady is buried, and more questions will be answered. The walk will begin at 10 a.m. in the cemetery, two miles west of downtown on U.S. 64 at Valley St. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, space is limited and reservations are required. Participants should wear a cloth face covering. Phone history walk leader Mary Jo Padgett at 828-545-3179 to make a reservation. Private tours for small groups can be arranged anytime.
