Tour 15: 
Piedmont Horticulture

Visit Hoffman Nursery, a large wholesale producer of ornamental grasses.  They produce and market dozens of different ornamental grasses, both field grown and greenhouse grown, marketing across the eastern U.S. We will then visit SEEDS (South Eastern Efforts Developing Sustainable Spaces), a non-profit community urban garden in downtown Durham that emphasizes community development and offers youth opportunities to raise and market vegetables and flowers.  Lunch will be on the grounds of the North Carolina Botanical Gardens, a state-owned public garden that specializes in native North Carolina plants.  We will finish the day with a tour of Piedmont Carolina Nursery, a large wholesale, container nursery.  Join us to see some good examples of horticulture in the Piedmont.
