out wildflowersThe forest floor surrounding Jackson County comes alive as wildflower season dawns — and a six-week course on spring wildflowers will give participants the knowledge to put names to flowery faces.

Spring Wildflowers of Southern Appalachia, taught by horticulturist Adam Bigelow, will teach identification techniques and on-the-ground practice outdoors. Bigelow will also cover the plants’ “stories,” including their names, benefits, uses and relationship to each other and the world at large.

The class runs 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesdays from March 22 to April 29. $120, with single-day rates also available.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
