NHAS Membership Meetings
Our membership meetings are usually held in the Visitor Education Center at the North Carolina Botanical Garden, 100 Old Mason Farm Road, Chapel Hill, on the first Thursday of every month (except June, July, and August). Join us in-person or virtual, depending on the speaker. NHAS hopes to stream in-person meetings live except for the September meeting which is a potluck. The in-person events may change due to uncertainty around COVID variants. Please check our website for updates on meetings: Home Page Announcements. Everyone, including non-members, is welcome! See you at a meeting soon!
We are recording our Zoom meetings, and those recordings will be available a few days after each meeting. Click here for links to these recordings.
Here is a list of our speakers for the 2022-2023 season:
