The landscaping of the Thomas Jefferson Visitor Center,
recipient of a LEED Gold Level certification, is designed
to blend the buildings into the native Monticello woodlands
with plantings of Virginia's native plant species, including 40
species of trees, over 50 species of flowering shrubs, and 75
types of wildflowers and groundcovers. Join Peggy Cornett and
Jerry Therrien for a two-hour stroll through these rich habitats
from the pavilions' green roofs, through the rain-garden style
greenway and to the African-American Graveyard. $15, 9:30 am,
Garden Center, Thomas Jefferson Visitor Center.
