Wildflower Extravaganza
Saturday, April 12
10 A.M.-2:30 P.M.
John James Audubon State Park

Audubon State Park is known for its ephemeral wildflowers, and they are emerging! Come experience the beauty of the nature preserve woods in early spring.
Spring Wildflowers of Audubon State Park—10:00 A.M.: Attend this indoor photo presentation on the typical ephemeral flora found in John James Audubon State Park. Park Naturalist, Lisa Hoffman, will introduce you to our common wildflowers and share some interesting folklore for the plants. Meets inside the Audubon Museum. Approx. 45 minutes.
Wildflower Walk–11 A.M.: Join our naturalist for this leisurely ¼ -1/2 mile walk in and around our woods as we try to identify as many early wildflowers as we can. This walk will likely pass by areas of Virginia Bluebells, Cut-Leaf Toothwort, Dutchman’s Breeches, and more. Gather on the Audubon Museum front lawn. Walk will cover an accessible trail suitable for all ages and abilities. Approx. 45 minutes.
Wildflower Walk & Scavenger Hunt–1:00 P.M.: Meet on the Audubon Museum front lawn for this moderately challenging 1-mile walk over hilly terrain. This naturalist-led hike will point out ephemeral wildflowers and will share folklore about the plants. We will up the fun by making it a scavenger hunt! How many flowers can you check off the list? Approx. 1 to 1.5 hours.
