Sewanee Herbarium Hosts Wildflower Walk at Lake Cheston on Oct. 11

Join Yolande Gottfried at 1:30 p.m., Sat., Oct. 11, to look at some of the last wildflowers of the season. 

Meet at the picnic pavilion for this easy one-hour walk around the lake’s shores. Falls colors will be showing, and the group will look for blooming ladies’ tresses and perhaps turtlehead. 

The Sewanee Herbarium is sponsoring other noteworthy events this fall. 

On Saturday, Oct. 18, George Ramseur will guide a one-hour walk through the Abbott Cotten Martin Ravine Garden. This event has become a tradition of Sewanee’s Family Weekend.

Looking ahead: On Sunday, Nov. 9, Gottfried will lead an easy, two-hour walk on the paved section of the Mountain Goat trail.

The nature journaling group coordinated by Mary Priestley continues to meet, 9–11 a.m., every Thursday. In nice weather, they gather at Stirling’s Coffee House; otherwise, they meet in room 171 of Spencer Hall.


The Sewanee Herbarium is involved in education, research and conservation. It acquires and maintains plant specimens with emphasis on the flora of the Sewanee Domain and the four-county area. For more information go to <sewaneeherbarium.wordpress.com/>.
