UNC Botanical Gardens

Today's #SpotlightOnCLT brings us to the great outdoors at UNC Botanical Gardens.  Its mission is to inspire a love for nature and plants through programming, classes, and displays.  The gardens are free and open to the public, but also offer low-cost classes and tours for children and adults.  In 2018, the Gardens had two Titan Arums bloom in the greenhouse, a rare sight in the world's botanical gardens.  We spoke with Christen Hoover to learn more about the gardens, and their impact on the community.

#SpotlightOnCLT: Great Outdoors


Explore Charlotte's Great Outdoors with SHARE Charlotte and Our Local Nonprofits!
#SpotlightOnCLT is SHARE Charlotte's monthly content series that highlights a different cause or issue.  This series allows us to explore the crucial work being done in a particular arena by our local nonprofit partners.  For the month of June, we are going to put a spotlight on the "Great Outdoors".  As the summer temperatures rise and we yearn to emerge from our home and work spaces, let's #GetOutside!

Let's Talk About It: #SpotlightOnCLT Autism Awareness


Today's highlight for #SpotlightOnCLT Autism Awareness is all about Let's Talk About it, The Autism Center.  We spoke with Executive Director, La Becky Roe, about how this program makes such a big impact here in Charlotte.  This program was established to help people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their caregivers to maximize their opportunities and life experiences. They offer IEP support, advocacy, behavioral interventions, sensory management support, and corporate training to promote the inclusion of people with ASD in their organizations.
