Description: Hugh Nourse, author, photographer and naturalist leads this group. Please join our Nature Ramblers and learn more about the natural areas, flora and fauna of the Garden while making new friends and enjoying the cool, fresh air. Sessions will start with an inspirational reading by a nature writer such as Annie Dillard, John Muir or Janisse Ray. This is a ramble not a hike; we will stop to view interesting plants, insects, butterflies, mushrooms, etc. along the way. Ramblers are encouraged to bring their own nature writings or favorite poems and essays to share with the group. Join us for one or all sessions; these informal rambles are free but donations are accepted in the Garden’s donation box at the entrance to the Visitor Center. Meet at Shade Tree Arbor. Times: 8:30 a.m. for roughly 90 minute walk No admission charge
