Join us for an Ivy Creek plant walk led by Wanda SanJule. This is a time when many wetland plants such as rose-mallow (a spectacular hibiscus), pickerel weed, button bush, monkey flower, arrowhead, and arrow arum are usually blooming. This year might be different with the extreme hot, dry weather but it will be interesting to see how the native plants are handling the drought. We may also find various milkweed and St. John’s-wort species and false foxglove in bloom. Co-sponsors: Jefferson Chapter, VNPS, and Ivy Creek Natural Area.
Meet by the Kiosk near the parking lot promptly at 9AM.
Dress for the weather and insects. Wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water.
