Cynthia Wood, seen here with an early spring group, will lead a wildflower walk at the Quarry Gardens on Saturday, April 13, at 10 a.m. A long-time native plant enthusiast, Cynthia  has written many articles for publication. Her charming and authoritative Virginia Wildflowers blog had more 14,000 monthly readers on Facebook.

If our phenology is a guide, participants may expect to see in bloom—and learn from Cynthia about—Wood anemone, Pussytoes, Wild columbine, Wild geranium, Alumroot, Bluets, Dwarf crested iris, Golden ragwort, Moss phlox, Eastern shooting star, Mayapple, Solomon’s seal, Wild pink, Bladdernut, Spring beauty, Foamflower, Mountain and Perfoliated bellworts, Heartleaf, Golden Alexanders—and many others.

Consider bringing a lunch to enjoy in our picnic pavilion after the walk.
