The Lake Lure Flowering Bridge Board of Directors, volunteers, townspeople from Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Village and other friends joined in the ground breaking ceremony recently for the new Education Center at the bridge location. Since the bridge was first established in 2011, volunteers and other guests have conducted more than 100 educational classes and workshops. Numerous other educational opportunities will be available when the Education Center is completed. The bridge will be celebrating several summer activities beginning with a Pollinator Week Celebration on June 22 from 10am to 1pm. The Flowering Bridge is wheelchair accessible and there are plenty of places where people can sit, relax and enjoy the surroundings. More than 200,000 people visited the bridge last year. The Board of Directors has a goal to provide creative and beautiful gardens for everyone to enjoy.
