In Celebration of Waterfalls - A special program and party with naturalist and writer, George Ellison, and Clemson botanist Dr. Tim Spira.  Tim is author of the recently-published book, Wildflowers and Plant Communities of the Southern Appalachians, and George is author of numerous writings on the natural history of the area, including the Nature Journal High Vistas. column in the Asheville Citizen-Times, and the book


The two have teamed up to create a one-of-a-kind illustrated program about our mountain waterfalls and the rare plants that survive in the special habitat of the waterfall spray zone.  This is a beautiful time of year to explore the many waterfalls of our area.  This program will help you enjoy them even more.

Afterward walk a block to The Compleat Naturalist for a party and book signing with our speakers.  Tickets are $10, with all the proceeds going to benefit the non-profit group Discover Life in America.  Participants can attend the store event without attending the program, but a ticket will be required.
