SUMMARY:Budding Explorers
DESCRIPTION:Calling all explorers! Join us for an exciting\, hands-on program where we’ll dive into the world of spiders as we discover why they build so many different kinds of webs! \nYouth participants\, accompanied by an adult\, will investigate the different kinds of spider webs\, make careful observations of webs in the garden\, and even get to design their own spider web. \nYou’ll also get an introduction to ecoEXPLORE\, an incentive-based community science program developed by The North Carolina Arboretum. By making real-world observations and completing fun challenges\, youth participants can earn badges and prizes throughout the year. \nThere is no need to have an ecoEXPLORE account prior to this program in order to participate. Program begins at the Visitor Center. Come dressed for the weather as this program will be held partly outdoors. In the event of inclement weather\, activities will be moved inside.

SUMMARY:The Midweek Program
DESCRIPTION:Spend enough time around nursery folks\, and you’ll eventually hear it: ADYC. Another Darn Yellow Composite. But while there are certainly plenty of yellow flowers in the Asteraceae family\, not every yellow flower in your garden has to follow the sunflower-and-daisy blueprint. Join Evan as he spotlights his favorite yellow-flowering plants that bring a cheerful pop of brilliant color to the landscape without a ray or disc flower anywhere to be seen.
