Visitors to The Arboretum at Flagstaff can join a special Wildflower Walk through the gardens to learn about species that are in bloom. On Saturday, August 20, author and AZNPS member Susan Lamb Bean will lead the walk and share information about work she has been doing over the years studying "phenology", or bloom timing. Find out how you can also get involved in this type of study in your own yard. Please sign-up in the Visitor Center upon arrival to secure a space in the program.
There are actually two walks. The first is from 9:30 to 10:30 am, the second is from 10:30 to 11:30 am.
Susan said, "The Arboretum gardens are looking really gorgeous right now. I was out there ten days ago and was really impressed. They've cleared some trees to show the gardens to full advantage and give them sunshine to grow. They've done a lot of work to spruce up all the different "subgardens" and the rains have everything looking healthy, vigorous, and colorful."
I hope you can make it.
