Wildflower Walk at Balls Bluff with Marijke Gate

Join us at Balls Bluff Battlefield Regional Park as we look for Spring Wildflowers. We will see the usual suspects such as Spring Beauty, Virginia Bluebells and Bloodroot and hopefully some more unusual spring ephemerals such as Shooting Stars and Twinleaf. The varied habitats within the park ensure that we will see a wide variety of species.

Space is limited and registration is required. Park at the Balls Bluff Trail Head Parking Area. Take Route 7 west towards Leesburg, then Route 15 Bypass north, turn right on Battlefield Parkway and left on Ball’s Bluff Road, and the park is located at the end of the street.

Marijke Gate was a naturalist at Riverbend Park for more than 20 years and has led wildflower walks for many years . She always looks forward to the arrival of spring and the spring ephemerals that emerge after even the hardest winter.
