May is the perfect time to explore our local habitats for wildflowers. This field study throughout the gardens of Tower Hill will explore the great variety of spring blooming wildflowers in the property’s woods, wetlands, and meadows. The class will focus on each plant’s key identification features of flower, leaf, and stem, and note the particular habitats in which they grow.
