Adam Bigelow - Horticulturalist

"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
