America 250: A Garden Journey Through 1776
2026-06-30 10:00 | Sandhills Horticultural Gardens, 3245 Airport Rd, Pinehurst, 28374
A Garden Journey Through 1776 Over the next several weeks leading up to the Fourth of July, explore how plants, agriculture, and the natural landscape shaped life in early America and right here in the Sandhills. From Indigenous farming traditions to native longleaf pine forests, each stop along the journey tells a piece of the story. Each Saturday, refer to the Sandhills Community College social media platforms to continue the Garden Journey Through 1776.

As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, the Sandhills Horticultural Gardens invite you to explore a small piece of what life in this region may have looked like in 1776—from a plant perspective. Early settlers faced the challenge of adapting to the Sandhills’ sandy soils and unique ecosystems, quickly learning which crops could sustain life in this environment.

Indigenous communities already possessed deep knowledge of these landscapes, shaping the agricultural and herbal practices that followed. Through this self-guided tour, you’ll discover how plants, ecosystems, and traditional knowledge connect the Sandhills to the Revolutionary Era. Along the way, explore topics such as longleaf pine ecology, cat face trees, native crops, and historic foodways.

Explore these garden spaces and discover how the plants around you reflect both the past and the present.

Summer Reading Stations 2026 with Partners for Children and Families
2026-06-30 10:00 - 14:00 | NC
📚☀️ Summer Reading Stations Are Back! ☀️📚The wait is over — Partners for Children and Families Summer Reading Stations have officially kicked off! 🎉All summer long, we’ll be traveling across Moore County to bring books, snacks, and resources directly to children and families in our communities. 🚐📖✨ Whether you’re a returning reader or joining us for the first time, we can’t wait to see you at one of our stations this summer!

Summer Reading Stations– To combat the summer reading slide for children, we establish outdoor reading stations at various locations in Moore County during the summer months. These stations offer children a new age-appropriate book, drinks and snacks, and provide valuable information and resources to their caregivers. Stations consist of paid interns and volunteers to help guide families on the importance of reading and spending time together every day. Storytellers can often be seen reading to families as they visit the sites. To view the full Summer Reading Stations schedule, Click Here!
