It’s late June and the thick beds of tall flowers blooming along I-85 jump up and hold my caffeinated attention as North Carolina says, “Welcome back.”
They must be wildflowers.
Indeed, for 26 years, North Carolina has been planting beds of wildflowers along highways so motorists can enjoy the show.
What a treat – show times listed here.
We are on our way to Atlanta for a long weekend with family for the husband’s birthday. We’ll take about a week to return to DC via Athens (GA), Chattanooga (TN), Knoxville (TN), Asheville (SC) and Richmond (VA).
Posts here will be sporadic but you can follow @TheSoilToil on twitter, Facebook and tumblr.
Do you have any favorite garden spots to share along our route?
