RESCHEDULED FOR SEPT. 12. Join curator Paul Jones on a series of walking tours to learn how the Culberson Asiatic Arboretum has developed over the past 40 years from an overgrown woodland to the enchanting garden it is today. Experience the changing seasons as you hear stories about early landscaping ideas, plant collecting trips to China and Japan and the people and projects that shaped its early years of development. Each date will cover a different aspect of the Arboretum’s history. This first walk will include Dr. Culberson’s original vision for the landscape and its early development. Join for one or more walks; register separately for each one: September 5, October 3 and November 7.
Fee: $22; free for Duke Gardens members with discount code.
Parking: Parking included. Directions will be included in the program reminder email sent the week before the program.
Location: Meet at 2000 Lewis St. entrance; program will take place in the Arboretum.
Accessibility: This will be a small group program that takes place outdoors, and participants will travel on a combination of paved and unpaved paths with some uneven surfaces and moderate inclines.
