2025 Northside Plant Walks
Visit us at the Pitt County Arboretum on the second Friday of each month at 12 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 walking the grounds to observe and learn about the featured plants. Attendance is free but please let us know you are coming by pre-registering at the link for each event. Additional information can be found on the NC Cooperative Extension web page
