About this Event

Join us for a stroll through the picturesque Bowers Rhododendron Collection, located behind the Nevin Welcome Center on Comstock Knoll. The Knoll is ablaze in May and early June with the vibrant white, yellow, pink, and red blossoms of the Collection. Rhododendrons and azaleas are interspersed with small flowering trees, ferns, and perennials—including an extensive hosta collection—all shaded by century-old white pine trees. Walks will be held rain or shine and include some stairs. Pre-registration is required as space is limited.
