Inspired by the Beyond Beauty lecture at Atlanta Botanical Garden? Then you will love this local field trip!
Nestled along the Northeast Beltline Arboretum Trail, is a local, vibrant collection of hydrangeas, pawpaw trees, and other species that deliver both beauty and habitat. We will celebrate how native hydrangeas support pollinators, in addition to providing a show through the seasons. It’s part garden walk, part ecology lesson, and all about seeing how thoughtful plant choices can turn a trail into a thriving pollinator corridor. 🌿🦋
