Come celebrate the grand opening of the Gateway to the Southern Appalachians!
Join us Thursday, April 16, from 1–2 p.m. as we officially cut the ribbon with city officials and Nature Center staff. Wander through our pollinator garden, where our educators will be on hand to answer questions and show you how to create your very own butterfly oasis at home.
Bonus Buzz: The Gift Shop is offering a one-day-only 20% off sale on pollinator goodies, so you can bring a little extra nectar home with you!
Don’t miss this un-bee-lievable celebration of nature, community, and pollinators! There’s no need to reserve a ticket. All the fun is included with a general admission ticket.
