4/11 April Events in Chapel Hill – Today We’re…

…Visiting Sarah P Duke Gardens

Beautiful is an overused word – but not when it comes to Duke Gardens. It’s the perfect activity for an afternoon in April. Springtime is when you get inspired to do something in your own garden. Go to Duke gardens and get some ideas. The grounds are full of plants and trees indigenous to North Carolina, and everything is labeled, so you’ll know just what to buy – or beg – for your yard.



Right now is when the wisteria is blooming in the gazebo. It’s a glorious spot of lavender – a centerpiece for sure. The tulips are also out right now, too – rows and rows of tulips – pick out which one you want to get for your next planting.



The gardens have fifty five miles of breathtaking trails. Wander around. Watch the students lounging, playing, sunbathing, courting, and occasionally studying. Another fun thing to watch are the brides taking pictures, like the Duke graduate (Shannon Pollard Duvall) in the picture.



Happy April!

PS While there, head over and see Duke chapel, a stunning example of Gothic architecture and beauty.
