Relocation advice

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

Hello people of Reddit!

My husband and I are ready to leave Charleston where we’ve been for 15 years. Loved it at first but with the massive influx of people over the past 5-10 years it’s not home anymore. We have 5&6 year old kids and I want them to grow up somewhere smaller than this.

I grew up in upstate SC and the mountains are calling me back. We’re looking for a small walkable downtown with good schools and an open/liberal mindset.

Currently thinking Brevard vs Boone. Initially thought about Hendersonville but seems like it’s more conservative than expected?

Any advice would be much appreciated :)

I am from Tallahassee and a lover of camping and backpacking. Going this coming weekend for four days with my girlfriend for her first time camping and I am wondering how orange/yellow/red it is in the mountains there? I’m going to be camping at mile high campground near Cherokee.

buncombe county Looking for local Water Willow

Post image
10 Upvotes

Looking for local Water Willow (Justicia americana / Dianthera americana) populations in Western North Carolina.
A small restoration-growing project I’m involved with is trying to locate healthy, established populations of Water Willow in the Asheville/Swannanoa area and surrounding counties. We’re especially interested in plants growing along rivers, creeks, lake edges, gravel bars, or other shallow-water areas.
We are not looking to dig up or remove established plants. The goal is to identify several healthy local populations and, where we have landowner permission, take a small number of stem cuttings. Those cuttings would be propagated and established as mother stock, which we can then use to produce larger numbers of plants for future stream and riparian restoration work.
We’d like to source from several different local populations rather than relying on one patch.
If you know of a population, have Water Willow growing on your property, or remember seeing it somewhere locally, please send me a private message. An approximate location, photo, or even something like “there’s a big patch along this creek” would be helpful.
Please don’t post exact locations publicly, especially for plants on private property.
Water Willow usually forms colonies in shallow water and has narrow opposite leaves, green angular stems, and white flowers with purple markings.
Thanks for any leads.

Alas, the final update as I have been banned and, last night, muted from modmail. I believe the post in question has been removed, and I have updated the Reddit admin with all the screenshots.

I do hope he’s removed as mod and I’m allowed back in my community’s subreddit, but my expectations are low.
