Pine, Fir or Spruce? Can you tell the difference? Carrie Whitacre, a Certified Arborist and an Assistant Curator at the State Arboretum of Virginia, Blandy Experimental Farm will teach us about these wonderful trees which bring us so much greenery through the winter! Weather permitting, we will take a walk around the Samuels Library grounds to identify conifers.
