June Activity Update
Native Plant sale. With proper county health approval we are excited to announce an in-person, covid-safe, in-person plant sale. Saturday & Sunday, June 13 & 14. By appointment only! Ten customers maximum in the nursery. Schedule your shopping through our plant sale page. (Click the link or the tab.) Masks required. At our volunteer-run chapter nursery at Freshwater Farms Reserve, 5851 Myrtle Ave., Eureka.
Spring Wildflower Show. For the first time in its 38-year history the show is being presented virtually, on this website. Galleries of photos take you to different places and through different groups of plants. Posters, documents, and slideshows illustrate the topics of invasive plants, dune plants, Wiyot plants, wildflower art, and wildflower photography. Bill Rodstrom's talk on pollinators, archived on this website, is part of the show. Numerous links suggest detours on relevant topics. Some of the work in this show is absolutely stunning. Take some time to browse and to return. The flowers will never wilt.
