Join Education & Programming Coordinator Elly for a woodland wildflower walk! We will start at our Visitors Center then head to the Vi Bates wildflower garden to see what wildflowers we can find.
It is a wonderful opportunity to see the beautiful blooms before they are gone for the summer. Finally, we will end with an optional walking of our East Loop walking paths to see what else is in bloom this spring!
This program is free for Klehm members or with paid admission to the garden. No registration is necessary. Before or after the program, feel free to walk the grounds and check out what else is blooming!
Attire: Dress in comfortable walking clothes and shoes you do not mind getting muddy. The path is not paved so please plan accordingly.
Cost: FREE with paid admission and FREE to Klehm members
