Native Plants      

Cherokee Master Gardener volunteers have been improving the Native Garden on the Lou Reeta Barton Northcutt Trail. In 2008, additional native plants were added in this area. Eventually, each plant will be identified and numbered. Information about the plant will be printed in a brochure prepared by the Cherokee Master Gardeners, and additional information will be added to this page.
