It's the last day of May! For this biweekly coffee walk, we feature roses — the iconic flower of May. Although some roses bloom nine months of the year in the Triad, May is their peak season. Enjoy the colorful and fragrant display, DeBeen coffee in hand!
Our walk begins at the Greensboro Arboretum, located in the Lindley Park neighborhood. The Kaplan Family Rose Garden has a gorgeous group of roses, all labeled. If you have your own rose garden, you can choose roses you like for home and arrangements.
After visiting a few more locations with roses, we wound up our walk at The Mariana H. Qubein Arboretum & Gardens and on the High Point University campus. The gorgeous Pat Plaxico climbing rose garden is at the back patio of the Qubein School of Communication. And the rose garden that started it all is planted in front of Smith Library. So many roses in different colors and heights!
All these roses plantings are free and open to the public, although HPU requires reservations or special permission. Walk around with your choice of iced coffee or tea, smoothie or gelato from DeBeen. Wear sensible shoes since there are stairs and it's a rolling landscape.

See you again in two weeks for a summer coffee walk. Don't miss National Trails Day, next Sat, June 6. Events that celebrate nature are planned across the Triad. Have a great weekend!
