Wildflower Walk at Jennings Environmental Education Center

Celebrate the arrival of spring with a one and one-half hour wildflower walk at the Jennings Environmental Education Center on Sunday, May 8 at 2:00 p.m.  Jennings staff will introduce the unique history, uses and folklore of the season’s first blooms.  Why buy Mom just a few simple roses on Mother’s Day, when she can be given the opportunity to view numerous wild flora species and learn about their interesting traits?

More than just a pretty face, each spring wildflower has its own history and personality.  For countless generations, wildflowers have been admired and revered for their beauty and usefulness as foods and medicines.  Native Americans, as well as early European settlers, largely depended on the extraordinary healing powers of wildflowers for common ailments.  Catch the splendor and brilliance of these spring beauties before they have come and gone.
