Spring Wild Flower Walk May 2

On Saturday May 2 at 9 a.m. museum director Jerome Johnson will lead a walk through the museum's Garfield Harley Pond and Woods. Impacts of the recent rains and swings in temperature have sped up the warming of the soils and activity in the ephemeral pond. Traditionally rue anemone should be blooming but the wild hyacinth may be coming two weeks early into its glory.


A car caravan will leave the museum for the woods. Appropriate clothing and shoes for muddy ground and spray for hitchhiking ticks is encouraged. It is $8 a person for a couple of hours out and about - please make reservations by emailing info@garfieldfarm.org or call 630 584-8485.
