This spring, our preschoolers carefully planted kale in the garden. After weeks of watering, watching, and waiting, it was finally time to harvest…and who better to enjoy the fruits (or veggies!) of their labor than our furry rabbit ambassadors?

Just a heads up for anyone planning to visit us today. We are hosting our annual Native Plant Sale, which means that our exhibit spaces are doubling as spaces where plants are on display and will be filled with those shopping. Be aware that your access to our animal exhibits may be limited. Also, due to this event we will not be hosting our twice daily animal encounters, "Hangin' with Hickory Friends" today. We will resume those experiences on Monday.

We hope you come to see us at Hickory Knolls this summer! The animals and staff are eager to meet you. Just a couple of things to be aware of:

Our Summer Nature Camps are in now session! This means that when you visit you can expect to see our campers around the nature center and grounds doing lots of nature learning and having fun. Some of these activities may temporarily affect access to our exhibit and other spaces.

Also, our Hickory Hide Out nature play area is under renovation. After 8 years of play and weathering the natural elements were beginning to decompose, weather and do what natural things do. So, this amenity will be unavailable for a time as a new play area is installed.
