Group Programs
Our community programs aim at getting you out to explore, making personal discoveries and sharing those insights with your peers. By connecting to our environment we gain valuable perspective on the web of life that we are a part of. Come join us and discover the wonders of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Check out our Upcoming Events page for more specific ways to get involved with BRDC. If you are interested in programming opportunities with BRDC, please inquire here.
blue ridge birders
We are a group of birders dedicated to exploring birds of the Southern Blue Ridge and nearby areas of the Piedmont and Ridge and Valley. Throughout the year we have field trips, informative programs, and youth camps that expand interest in birding. We also are stewards for our regional birdlife by participating in citizen science projects like The Hawk Watch Association of North America’s Mahogany Rock Hawk Watch and Audubon's Christmas Bird Counts
Garden Club
The Blue Ridge Discovery Center Garden Club is a community of passionate gardeners dedicated to celebrating the beauty and diversity of native plants in the Blue Ridge region. We bring together individuals of all skill levels to share knowledge, explore sustainable gardening practices, and foster a deeper connection with nature. Through workshops, hands-on projects, and collaborative events, our club inspires a love for gardening while promoting ecological stewardship. Join us as we cultivate vibrant gardens and a thriving community!
