Tour Overview
Do you ever wonder what the plants are as you walk along the paths of Carter Park? This tour will help you identify them as you go and help you know what is native and what is not.
Planting native plants is a great way to help your local ecosystem. They support the pollinators, animals and soil ecosystems that keep our ecosystem in balance. On this tour, you can learn to recognize what those plants are and take what you know back to your own yard.
