A Winter Walk in the Footsteps of William Lanier Hunt
Dec 5
This annual walk honors William L. Hunt—horticulturist, garden designer, writer, and lecturer—who frequently praised the landscapes and plants of the UNC campus in his newspaper garden columns. Ken Moore, retired assistant director of the NC Botanical Garden, honors Hunt’s love of the campus landscape and its heritage by tracing Hunt’s footsteps and stopping to recall stories of plants and people from the past.
