There are a multitude of activities on the Mountain this weekend: Family Weekend at the College, Taizé (see p. 4), readings at IONA: Art Sanctuary (p. 15), art exhibits in Carlos Gallery in the Nabit Art Building and in the University Gallery, the Fannie Moffitt Stomp (p. 14), the Sewanee Arts and Crafts Fair (p. 12), as well as an abundance of athletic contests.
Here are two great ways to see the Domain offered by the Sewanee Herbarium.
Walk Through Abbo’s Alley—A Family Weekend tradition. Meet Mary Priestley at 7:45 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 12, at the Quadrangle for this easy one-hour walk in the Abbott Cotten Martin Ravine Garden. There are a surprising number of things to see and learn on this familiar trail.
Tour Sewanee’s newly-designated arboretum—Meet Margaret Woods at 1:30 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 13, at the arboretum map kiosk at the corner of University and Georgia avenues, near Convocation Hall.
Woods, a George Washington University-trained landscape designer whose practice focuses on the use of native plants and the importance of environmental stewardship, will lead a leisurely and informative stroll around campus.
Wear appropriate shoes on all of these walks. Picking flowers and digging plants are prohibited.
