Legacy Park Walk - “Spring Ephemerals”
Before our native trees fully leaf out, spring ephemeral wildflowers must complete their entire annual growth and reproduction while the sunlight still reaches to the ground where they live. Arborist Jim Porterfield and botanist Celia Larsen led us through the towering trees to explore what early wildflowers can be found in Legacy Park and how we can identify some of the mature trees as their buds burst open. This is a special, fleeting, vibrant time of year.
