“Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away.
In you I've found a fragrance. I'll love you 'til I die.
I just love you, love you, love you. I don't even know the reason why.”
Don’t worry. They’ll be with us into October, so we still have plenty of time to enjoy them. Come see our hummers!

“At the entrance to The Park at Flat Rock, a small plaque celebrates Conserving Carolina’s role in helping make one of Flat Rock’s most beloved places possible. Hundreds of people walk past the marker every day. They come to walk the trails, exercise their dogs, watch their children play, practice yoga, share a picnic, or simply sit beside a creek for a while - to rest, rejuvenate and reconnect with the natural world.
Most park visitors probably don't realize that the place they have come to enjoy is also an example of how Conserving Carolina has quietly enriched life across Western North Carolina for nearly four decades. The organization’s work can be found in the mountains, forests and farmland it has protected, the rivers and wetlands it has restored, and the parks and trails that invite us outside.”
Nice piece, Flat Rock Together!

Great piece by WNC magazine on our “colorful” and “quaint” and “alluring” The Village of Flat Rock, with nice shout-outs to The Park at Flat Rock and other attractions. We are so blessed to live, work, and play here!
A Flat Rock Summer For as long as anyone can remember, Flat Rock has been a destination. Before European colonists began settling in the village, Cherokee families traveled from the Lowlands of South Carolina and Georgia to this expansive stretch of granite to trade and meet with the bands of the surrounding mountaino...

Place your smart phone on the end of a viewer to take pictures. Spin the flower pot to change the images. Enjoy the science. Enjoy the art.

That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn”
