But for the shortening days, you might not know it’s October in Virginia… autumn may blaze through quickly. Join Winston for a Biophilia Walk – or, people peering at plants (in part) – on which we’ll take note of some of the season’s changes upon a section of Grounds and try to meet some migrants. We’ll concentrate on The Dell.

So, on Thursday, Oct., 15, meet at the Alderman back-door loading dock at 9:30am – or, if you’re coming from points south or west, join us at The Dell (where Thomson Rd meets Emmet St) at 9:45. Wear good walking shoes and bring binoculars, camera, sketchbook, curiosity.
