NC Museum of Art - Rodin Water Lily Tuber Giveaway
- Saturday, May 12th, 10 am - 2 pm.
The Rodin Garden at the North Carolina Museum of Art is one of the most stunning places on the Museum campus. Delicate bamboo shoots tower overhead, and a reflecting pool is in full bloom, with gorgeous water lilies befit to set off the remarkable life-size Rodin bronzes. Part of the regular maintenance of the reflecting pools includes thinnning the growth of the water lilies. This results in hundreds of tubers in need of a good home.
Gardeners and plant-enthusiasts are invited to the Rodin Water Lily Tuber Giveaway on Saturday, May 12, 10 am - 2 pm, near the entrance of the West Building. Feel free to invite others who may be interested. Supplies are limited.
Please note that these plants need to live in water - in a pond or a large container.
