Presented by Greg Paige, Director of Horticulture, JC Raulston Arboretum on January 7, 2025.
Yes, we have something in flower 365 days a year here at the JC Raulston Arboretum, but there are far more interesting things to see in the dead of winter, particularly amongst plant features you can see any other time of year. For this Plant-lover's Tour we're talking bark, y'all. Join our Director of Horticulture, Greg Paige, as he take us around the garden and show us all the flaky-peely, smooth and shiny, rough & ridgy barks in our impressive collection of trees and shrubs, and learn about the care and culture of these intriguing plants to get some inspiration for enhancing the interest of your own winter garden.
