Spring Botanizing at Penny’s Bend

In person and entirely outdoors with Alec Motten, professor emeritus, and Paul Manos, professor of biology, Duke University.  

Penny’s Bend, an 84-acre preserve, has a unique geology and therefore distinct soils that support rare plant species. Join Alec and Paul for a relatively easy hike, under 2 miles. The spring wildflower season is challenging to predict, but we will see plenty! Plan to wear weather appropriate comfortable clothes and good walking shoes.   

Fee: $24; 20% discount for Duke Gardens members with discount code.    

Location: Meet at Penny’s Bend. Driving directions will be sent in the program reminder.   

Accessibility: This will be a small group program that takes place outdoors and traveling on unpaved trails with some uneven surfaces and moderate inclines.
