 ralist and educator. He holds a M.S. in Biology from Appalachian State Uni
 versity\, and has performed research on the ecology of salamanders and sma
 ll mammals. For the past 22 years he was Outreach Coordinator at the WCU H

 Join Lauren on this walk around the Arboretum property where we will go ov

  Some flowers are very difficult to identify to species and some are relat

 o key out some of the less common flowers but will focus on learning how t

DESCRIPTION:Do you want to liberate your digital life from big tech platfo
 rms like Gmail and OneDrive\, but struggle to find the time to make a plan
  and actually do it?\nDe-Google Together is a monthly workshop hosted by B
 unk Computer Cooperative. The goal of the workshop is to sit down and do t
 he tedious work of actually breaking up with big tech. Everyone is welcome
 \; whether you need help making a plan\, installing Linux\, picking a new 
 email provider\, or if you just want to hold yourself accountable by sched
 uling time for break-up work.\nHow the workshop works\nWe'll set up four t
 ables in a large circle\, and sit around them with our laptops. There's a 
 wired internet connection for anyone who needs it (like if you're bringing
  a desktop computer). There's no itinerary for the workshop\, people simpl
 y use the time to work on whatever they've chosen to work on that day.\nIf
  you're looking for help working on your big tech break up\, just ask! A B
 unk member or other participants will be happy to help you. If you've alre
 ady finished your big tech break up and want to come just to help\, please
  do.\nIf you want to have dedicated\, non-social time for working on your 
 big tech break up\, that's welcome too! There's often a lot of crosstalk w
 hile people ask each other questions and talk about different tech topics.
  So if you're distracted by sound\, you should bring ear plugs or noise ca
 ncelling headphones.\nWe'll also have flash drives with Linux Mint\, if yo
 u're curious about test-driving or installing Linux on your computer. \nB
 unk Computer Cooperative is a worker-owned cooperative. They build private
  computing infrastructure for businesses\, non-profits\, and individuals i
 n Western North Carolina. https://bunk.computer

DESCRIPTION:Awakening Creativity — An Introductory Workshop\nWith Cather
 ine Willows \nThursday\, September 10  |  9:30 – 11:30 am \nRegister H
 ere!\n  \nCreativity lives innately within us all—our natural capacity 
 to imagine\, envision new possibilities\, and bring fresh energy into our 
 lives. In this two-hour introductory workshop\, you’ll be invited into a
  different kind of art-making: not focused on skill or product\, but on ex
 pression from within. \nHeld in sacred space and in communion with nature\
 , we’ll explore intuitive painting\, journaling\, and reflective practic
 es to quiet the mind and awaken your inner creative self—helping you see
  what may not have been fully acknowledged\, and allowing inspiration\, cl
 arity\, and joy to arise. \nMany participants are surprised by what unfold
 s—the unexpected that emerges through the process itself. This introduct
 ory session lays the foundation for future workshops. \nNo art experience 
 is needed—just an open spirit and a willingness to explore and students 
 are encouraged to bring their journals with them if they would like to. \n
 Catherine Willows is a Registered Nurse\, Certified Functional Medicine He
 alth Coach\, and Transformational Creativity Coach\, and founder of Willow
 s Coaching and Consulting. While holding sacred space\, she guides adults 
 in awakening their inner creativity — moving beyond the demands of daily
  life into greater flow\, self-discovery\, and joy through intuitive art-m
 aking processes. Catherine believes creativity and our connection to the n
 atural world are deeply interwoven  — both vital pillars of wellbeing\,
  supporting nervous system regulation and inner equanimity\, and together 
 essential for living a meaningful\, embodied life aligned with purpose and
  authentic expression. \n●  Members: Remember to enter your promo code

DESCRIPTION:Based on cutting-edge science in the fields of evolution\, che
 mistry\, and neuroscience\, Most Delicious Poison reveals the origins of t
 oxins produced by plants\, mushrooms\, microbes\, and even some animals\, 
 the mechanisms that animals evolved to overcome them\, and how a co-evolut
 ionary arms race made its way into the human experience. This perpetual ch
 emical war not only drove the diversification of life on Earth\, but is al
 so intimately tied to our own successes and failures. You will never look 
 at a houseplant\, mushroom\, fruit\, vegetable\, or even the last 500 year
 s of human history\, the same way again. \nThis event will take place onli
 ne as a Zoom webinar. Registration is required to attend.  \nFree for Mem
 bers of the North Carolina Botanical Garden Foundation\, Sarah P. Duke Gar
 dens\, JC Raulston Arboretum\, Durham Garden Forum\, and Durham County Mas

DESCRIPTION:In “Appalachian Flooding in Fact and Fiction\,” Nico Zegre
 \, Ph.D.\, explores how floods work\, what flooding looks like in Appalach
 ia\, and why floods are changing. He will discuss how the region’s steep
  topography\, narrow valleys\, and limited flat land for development contr
 ibute to significant flood risks\, as well as how flooding connects Appala
 chian communities through space and time. \nLiterary scholar Jessica Cory\
 , Ph.D.\, examines representations of flooding in Appalachian literature\,
  from early works to contemporary depictions in twenty-first-century texts
 \, including the recent anthologies Had I a Dove: Appalachian Poets on the
  Helene Flood\, edited by Hilda Downer\, and Troublesome Rising: A Thousan
 d-Year Flood in Eastern Kentucky\, edited by Melissa Helton. Through mappi
 ng literary floods across the region\, Cory explores how water connects us
 \, even in disastrous ways. \nThis event is free and open to the public\; 
 however\, registration is encouraged. Register Here \n  \n“Appalachian 
 Flooding in Fact and Fiction” is the third event in the “Rising Waters
 : Writing Place and Environment” Thomas Howerton Professorship lecture s
 eries presented by the UNC Asheville English Department. This three-year s
 eries features humanities scholars in conversation with natural sciences s
 cholars about issues affecting us all. \nJessica Cory\nJessica Cory\, Ph.D
 .\, is a settler scholar and the editor of Appalachian Journal: A Regional
  Studies Review\, published since 1972 at Appalachian State University. Sh

 ntain Hydrology Lab and River Conservation & Management Program at West Vi
 rginia University. His research and teaching focus broadly on freshwater s
 ecurity at the intersection of landscape\, people\, and climate in the App
 alachian Mountains. He is committed to developing meaningful\, accessible\
 , and actionable knowledge\, data\, tools\, and applications that inform a

 ools such as field measurements\, experiments\, models\, and technology to
  explore how watersheds work. Likewise\, he uses participatory action and 
 community-engaged research approaches that aim to expand participation in 
 knowledge generation and resilience planning. He sees our world through th

 two years since hurricane Helene ravaged the ecosystems of Western North C

 strated lecture followed by a short walk on Arboretum grounds to observe t
 he ongoing recovery of hurricane-damaged areas. \nDan Lazar served for man

DESCRIPTION:Do you want to liberate your digital life from big tech platfo
 rms like Gmail and OneDrive\, but struggle to find the time to make a plan
  and actually do it?\nDe-Google Together is a monthly workshop hosted by B
 unk Computer Cooperative. The goal of the workshop is to sit down and do t
 he tedious work of actually breaking up with big tech. Everyone is welcome
 \; whether you need help making a plan\, installing Linux\, picking a new 
 email provider\, or if you just want to hold yourself accountable by sched
 uling time for break-up work.\nHow the workshop works\nWe'll set up four t
 ables in a large circle\, and sit around them with our laptops. There's a 
 wired internet connection for anyone who needs it (like if you're bringing
  a desktop computer). There's no itinerary for the workshop\, people simpl
 y use the time to work on whatever they've chosen to work on that day.\nIf
  you're looking for help working on your big tech break up\, just ask! A B
 unk member or other participants will be happy to help you. If you've alre
 ady finished your big tech break up and want to come just to help\, please
  do.\nIf you want to have dedicated\, non-social time for working on your 
 big tech break up\, that's welcome too! There's often a lot of crosstalk w
 hile people ask each other questions and talk about different tech topics.
  So if you're distracted by sound\, you should bring ear plugs or noise ca
 ncelling headphones.\nWe'll also have flash drives with Linux Mint\, if yo
 u're curious about test-driving or installing Linux on your computer. \nB
 unk Computer Cooperative is a worker-owned cooperative. They build private
  computing infrastructure for businesses\, non-profits\, and individuals i
 n Western North Carolina. https://bunk.computer

DESCRIPTION:Do you want to liberate your digital life from big tech platfo
 rms like Gmail and OneDrive\, but struggle to find the time to make a plan
  and actually do it?\nDe-Google Together is a monthly workshop hosted by B
 unk Computer Cooperative. The goal of the workshop is to sit down and do t
 he tedious work of actually breaking up with big tech. Everyone is welcome
 \; whether you need help making a plan\, installing Linux\, picking a new 
 email provider\, or if you just want to hold yourself accountable by sched
 uling time for break-up work.\nHow the workshop works\nWe'll set up four t
 ables in a large circle\, and sit around them with our laptops. There's a 
 wired internet connection for anyone who needs it (like if you're bringing
  a desktop computer). There's no itinerary for the workshop\, people simpl
 y use the time to work on whatever they've chosen to work on that day.\nIf
  you're looking for help working on your big tech break up\, just ask! A B
 unk member or other participants will be happy to help you. If you've alre
 ady finished your big tech break up and want to come just to help\, please
  do.\nIf you want to have dedicated\, non-social time for working on your 
 big tech break up\, that's welcome too! There's often a lot of crosstalk w
 hile people ask each other questions and talk about different tech topics.
  So if you're distracted by sound\, you should bring ear plugs or noise ca
 ncelling headphones.\nWe'll also have flash drives with Linux Mint\, if yo
 u're curious about test-driving or installing Linux on your computer. \nB
 unk Computer Cooperative is a worker-owned cooperative. They build private
  computing infrastructure for businesses\, non-profits\, and individuals i
 n Western North Carolina. https://bunk.computer

DESCRIPTION:About the Event: The focus of the 250th Anniversary of the A
 merican Revolution is on the excitement of combat. But the majority of peo
 ple living through the Revolution were not fighters. Their focus was day t
 o day survival\, complicated by shortages of food\, salt\, and currency\; 
 rampant inflation\; short-handed farms and businesses\; weak government\; 
 and raids by partisans on both sides. Loyalist families\, and more so ensl
 aved families\, faced greater hardships. And war could always show up at y
 our doorstep! Come hear what life was like for the “other revolutionarie
 s” on the homefront during seven long years of war.About the Speaker: Ji
 m Morgan is a writer/researcher with a master’s degree in journalism fro
 m the University of Missouri. Jim created “The American Revolution Tour 
 of North Carolina™” (AmRevNC.com)\, a research-based\, book-length web
 site telling the stories of more than 100 locations across the state. He c
 ontinues the research and gives tours\, talks\, and TV interviews. He had 
 two articles on the Revolution in the April issue of Our State magazine.
  Previously he did university and business writing for many years. He then
  taught the science of teamwork and coached project management at a wide v
 ariety of organizations\, including Los Alamos National Laboratory\, Micro
 soft\, and startups. Jim lives in Durham\, sails\, and has black belts in 
 two martial arts.

DESCRIPTION:Do you want to liberate your digital life from big tech platfo
 rms like Gmail and OneDrive\, but struggle to find the time to make a plan
  and actually do it?\nDe-Google Together is a monthly workshop hosted by B
 unk Computer Cooperative. The goal of the workshop is to sit down and do t
 he tedious work of actually breaking up with big tech. Everyone is welcome
 \; whether you need help making a plan\, installing Linux\, picking a new 
 email provider\, or if you just want to hold yourself accountable by sched
 uling time for break-up work.\nHow the workshop works\nWe'll set up four t
 ables in a large circle\, and sit around them with our laptops. There's a 
 wired internet connection for anyone who needs it (like if you're bringing
  a desktop computer). There's no itinerary for the workshop\, people simpl
 y use the time to work on whatever they've chosen to work on that day.\nIf
  you're looking for help working on your big tech break up\, just ask! A B
 unk member or other participants will be happy to help you. If you've alre
 ady finished your big tech break up and want to come just to help\, please
  do.\nIf you want to have dedicated\, non-social time for working on your 
 big tech break up\, that's welcome too! There's often a lot of crosstalk w
 hile people ask each other questions and talk about different tech topics.
  So if you're distracted by sound\, you should bring ear plugs or noise ca
 ncelling headphones.\nWe'll also have flash drives with Linux Mint\, if yo
 u're curious about test-driving or installing Linux on your computer. \nB
 unk Computer Cooperative is a worker-owned cooperative. They build private
  computing infrastructure for businesses\, non-profits\, and individuals i
 n Western North Carolina. https://bunk.computer

DESCRIPTION:Do you want to liberate your digital life from big tech platfo
 rms like Gmail and OneDrive\, but struggle to find the time to make a plan
  and actually do it?\nDe-Google Together is a monthly workshop hosted by B
 unk Computer Cooperative. The goal of the workshop is to sit down and do t
 he tedious work of actually breaking up with big tech. Everyone is welcome
 \; whether you need help making a plan\, installing Linux\, picking a new 
 email provider\, or if you just want to hold yourself accountable by sched
 uling time for break-up work.\nHow the workshop works\nWe'll set up four t
 ables in a large circle\, and sit around them with our laptops. There's a 
 wired internet connection for anyone who needs it (like if you're bringing
  a desktop computer). There's no itinerary for the workshop\, people simpl
 y use the time to work on whatever they've chosen to work on that day.\nIf
  you're looking for help working on your big tech break up\, just ask! A B
 unk member or other participants will be happy to help you. If you've alre
 ady finished your big tech break up and want to come just to help\, please
  do.\nIf you want to have dedicated\, non-social time for working on your 
 big tech break up\, that's welcome too! There's often a lot of crosstalk w
 hile people ask each other questions and talk about different tech topics.
  So if you're distracted by sound\, you should bring ear plugs or noise ca
 ncelling headphones.\nWe'll also have flash drives with Linux Mint\, if yo
 u're curious about test-driving or installing Linux on your computer. \nB
 unk Computer Cooperative is a worker-owned cooperative. They build private
  computing infrastructure for businesses\, non-profits\, and individuals i
