The best spring bloom in North Carolina brings out the lover in us all as its beauty can boost our happiness — if only for a little while — not to mention its benefit to the community. The Mariana H. Qubein Arboretum & Botanical Gardens at High Point University offers an extraordinary display of color all across the campus, but especially at the Wandering Dogwood Grove. And you can own some of these gorgeous trees by attending the annual Arbor Day Celebration on April 18 at 4:00 p.m. at the Cottrell Amphitheater, when after the event, the staff will give away 250 beautiful flowering dogwood trees!

You'll find these lovely plants - spring through fall - along the Wandering Dogwood Grove in Hayworth Park on the Highpoint University Campus.
