Plant-Lover’s Tour - “Follow Your Nose”

Presented by Dennis Carey, Curator, JC Raulston Arboretum.

Love plants? So do we! This month's Plant-Lover's Tour invites you on a guided journey through the garden's most delightfully fragrant flora. From blooming flowers to fragrant foliage and even the occasional perfumed root, this tour highlights the plants that delight the nose as much as the eyes. Our Curator, Dennis Carey, will lead the way, sharing fun facts and expert insights about the fragrant wonders tucked throughout the garden. Whether you're a plant enthusiast, a curious newcomer, or just someone who wants to stick their snoot in some pretty-smelling plants, there's something here for everyone. Come ready to breathe it all in—your nose will thank you!
