TreesCharlotte: #SpotlightOnCLT Great Outdoors
TreesCharlotte
Charlotte is known as “The City of Trees” thanks to our city’s remarkable tree canopy. TreesCharlotte actively plants and gives away trees to ensure the continued health and well-being of our canopy and to account for on-going growth and development in our city. Trees clean our air, reduce stormwater run-off, cool our streets, reduce energy usage in our homes, increase property values, and give us beauty.

UNC Botanical Gardens #SpotlightOnCLT Great Outdoors
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.RSS and ourBRIDGE Collaborating for Good!
