Bloomin’ Walks #2: Celebrate Summer Solstice, The Institute
June 26th, 2021 * 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Dr. Doris Goldman will lead a family walk through Birely Trail at Happel’s Meadow in Blue Ridge Summit to observe and learn about blooming rosebay or great rhododendron (Rhododendron maximum).
The clusters of flowers areeach almost 2 inches wide, and are a hummingbird favorite.
This walk is quite shady and mossy, and always cooler than in the valley or most of the drier areas in the mountains.
