Pitt County Arboretum offers Northside Plant Walks

Visit the Pitt County Arboretum from noon to 1 p.m. on the second Friday of each month at noon for a fun and educational garden tour experience.

The Northside Plant Walks utilize the arboretum and the Northside Walking Trail to tell a unique story about our plants with each tour.

Every tour has a different theme designed to answer burning questions gardeners have about finding the right plants for their home landscapes. Visitors will not only learn about the plants on the tour, but also get their steps in as we walk the grounds to observe and learn about the featured plants.

Attendance is free but visitors should pre-register for each event at pitt.ces.ncsu.edu/the-pitt-county-arboretum/northside-plant-walks/. Planned walks include:
