Reid Garden Workdays
Second Saturdays of the month, September through June, are workdays at the Margaret Reid Wild Flower Garden, 1439 Dixie Trail, Raleigh, 9:00 am to noon. Contact Amy Mackintosh (triangleco@ncwildflower.org) if you have questions. Learn about landscaping with native plants, enjoy the company of other enthusiasts, and help maintain this jewel of a native plant garden.

The Reid Garden, 1439 Dixie Trail, Raleigh, is located at the corner of Lewis Farm Road and Dixie Trail, about 3 blocks north of Wade Avenue on Dixie Trail. Turn west onto Lewis Farm Rd from Dixie Trail. The driveway entrance is on the south side of Lewis Farm Road, a few feet from the stop sign.

First and third Wednesdays of the month, 9:00 am – 11:00, are workdays for our adopted section of the Black Creek Greenway in Cary.

State Fair Demonstration Garden
Every October volunteers from the Reid (Triangle) Chapter man this garden during the State Fair to educate and promote our mission to the public. This photo is of the NCNPS sign at the Native Plant demonstration garden at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh.
