Raulston Blooms!
April 1, 2017 | 9:00 am - 4:00 pm EDT
Garden Festival for All Ages!
Learn, shop, get great ideas, and enjoy gourmet treats while supporting your JC Raulston Arboretum. We’re rolling out the red carpet for home gardeners, families, and children by offering a day that’s packed with garden and nature activities, shopping, and outdoor fun.
Begin the day by browsing the JCRA plant sale which offers plants selected especially for our climate by their staff. This year the plant sale has been expanded and will include Pine Knot Farms, Mr. Maple, and Superior Plants Nursery. Shop for one-of-a-kind gifts and items from artisans and vendors. Enjoy time with your children, learning about bugs, bees, plants, chickens through exciting hands-on activities. Don’t miss the 17th Annual Birdhouse Competition that is inspiring, fanciful, and a perennial hit with everyone. Gourmet treats will be available for purchase from food trucks and other vendors. NC State’s famous Howling Cow ice cream will also be for sale.
