About Me

If you don’t know something is there, how can you Love it? And if you don’t Love it, why would you care if it is there?” –Adam Bigelow

 Hi, my name is Adam Bigelow and I’m a Plant Nerd. While I did not grow up in these mountains, and am originally from Hampton, VA, I have lived here for 30 years and have been studying and working with the Plants of Southern Appalachia for 20 of those years. Somehow, seemingly by accident, I fell in Love with Native Plants and Wildflowers along the way. I would enjoy the opportunity to help you fall in Love with them too.
 
I live in Cullowhee, NC which is the home of the Cullowhee Native Plants Conference and the Cullowhee Community Garden, both of which I am involved with. My passions in life are the Native Plants and Wildflowers of Southern Appalachia, Walking in the Woods, Organic Gardening, Community Gardening, Sustainability and Eco-friendly Living, my good dog Magnolia, and making music with my friends.
 
I would Love the opportunity to walk among the Wildflowers with you
