Nature is Calling: Discover the Beauty and Benefits of Native Plants

WINTERGREEN, VA, UNITED STATES, May 9, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Celebrate spring and the wildflowers of the Blue Ridge at the Spring Wildflower Symposium on Friday, May 17 through Sunday, May 19 at the Nature Foundation at Wintergreen. Wintergreen’s Spring Wildflower Symposium offers guests and symposium attendees a close-up look at the best and most diverse coverage of wildflowers and mountain ecosystems. Wintergreen’s unique setting features over 30 miles of hiking trails and convenient access to diverse geological sites.

According to Doug Coleman, the Nature Foundation at Wintergreen’s executive director, “this year’s symposium features a full program of wildflower walks, native landscaping ideas, art classes and natural history lectures with the country’s leading experts in their field. There’s no way you could come away from this event without learning more about botany, ecology, entomology, geology and ornithology while taking in the beauty of the Blue Ridge.”

New this year: Members of TNFW’s Plant Propagation committee will have a small demonstration of plants during the Symposium on Saturday; plants can be ordered during the time and picked up on Sunday at the greenhouse.
