near Plum Branch, SC

Summary

This will be an unguided visit to one of the most spectacular wildflower viewing areas in the state. Bring your Porcher!

Description

This is an opportunity to explore Stevens Creek with fellow native plant devotees.  Worthy of being visited once a month to see the progression of the seasons through the many varied plants found here, we will catch it at a good time.

Bring a hat, water, a snack, sunscreen (let's be optimistic!) and boots.  There is some elevation change.

Carpooling arrangements from the Columbia area can be made by contacting Betsy Russell at 803-749-7986.  People in Betsy's car will be dining afterwards at Laziza Grill in downtown Augusta.
