Since 1931 the Tryon Garden Club has served as devoted stewards of Pearson's Falls and Glen, a ninety-foot waterfall and botanical sanctuary in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. This cove forest is an example of one of the most diverse habitats of native plants, trees, birds, and wildlife on earth. During the 1930s economic depression, members of the Tryon Garden Club's Pearson's Falls and Glen Property Acquisition Committee worked as visionaries to secure the site, and since then generations have continued to enjoy and cherish this treasured place of biodiversity.
