Sunday, June 11, 9:30 am – 12:00 noon – Wildflower Walk with Boot Boutwell

by

“What is so rare as a day in June?” especially when one is taking a leisurely walk through the meadows and forests around scenic Wright-Locke Farm in search of wildflowers. We won’t have to walk very far to see a host of late spring and early summer flowers in bloom. We’ll take a leisurely stroll in order to enjoy the beauty of these flowers, learn some basic wildflower identification characteristics and also learn some natural history and lore about the plants we see. We’ll also talk a little about the summer solstice, which arrives on Wednesday, June 21st.

Children ages 10+ are welcome to register if accompanied by a registered adult. The program will take place June 11 at 9:30 am, with tiered pricing $10 – $20. Register HERE
