Join Clara Curtis, the Arboretum's Senior Director for Mission Delivery, in this walk through the gardens in winter. She'll also give you a look at the current exhibition, An Abundance of Riches, highlighting birds and botanicals in the prints of artist Andrea Rich that is currently on display through May 14th. With decades of design and horticulture oversight at the Arboretum, Clara is our walking institutional memory for how plants came to be chosen for the gardens and what transformation the landscape has seen over 36 years of growing in place. You can have no better informed guide and no one who makes plants more interesting! This class is designed to provide a small-group experience to complement our online seasonal Plants of Interest course, which is a core requirement in our Blue Ridge Eco Gardener Certificate of Merit program.

Clara Curtis is the senior director for mission delivery at The North Carolina Arboretum. She holds a bachelor’s degree in horticultural science from N.C. State University. Her designs for the Arboretum’s Quilt Garden, container gardens and seasonal and permanent landscapes are featured for the 28th season and have been featured on UNC-TV and with the Emmy® Award winning Show, “In the Garden with Bryce Lane”, Our State magazine and by the Associated Press. Curtis received the Award of Merit from the American Public Gardens Association for her career achievements.
