Due to popular demand, we are planning two wildflower farm field trips this year. Join us on Sunday, May 4 at 10am to see fields of wildflowers in bloom. Please note: This field trip is an annual favorite, but nature can be unpredictable. The wildflowers may not be in peak bloom during this time. There will still be flowers in bloom, and the trip has plenty more to offer. At 10 a.m. farm owner Terry Zinn will talk about wildflower farming and easy wildflowers to cultivate. Then he will lead the group on a tour of the farm. You are welcome to bring your lunch and stay for a picnic. Make sure to bring a camera to have your photo taken in the field of wildflowers! This field trip is free for Florida Wildflower Foundation members and $20 for future members. Visit our website to become a member today! Contact Rose Kinane at RKinane@flawildflowers.org with any questions regarding the field trip or Florida Wildflower Foundation membership.
