Woodlands Wildflower Walk - Morning Session

UPDATE: This event is full; you may add your name to the waitlist to be notified if availability opens up.

Spring is a magical time of year to celebrate the magnificent wildflowers of Atlanta’s Urban Forest. This April, join us for a stroll through Woodlands Garden, an 8 acre woodland sanctuary in Decatur.  This event is co-hosted by Woodlands Garden, the Intown Chapter of the Georgia Native Plant Society, and Trees Atlanta. Space is limited.

Getting There:

We will meet outside the Woodlands Garden Office at 932 Scott Boulevard in Decatur, GA. There is a parking lot near the start of the tour. Restrooms are available inside the office.

The Woodlands Garden trail we will walk is about a mile in length, relatively flat, and on a mulched path. Wear close-toed comfortable shoes, bring water, and bug spray if you are susceptible. There should be a lovely array of spring wildflowers in bloom along with a variety of beautiful native deciduous azaleas.

Guides:

Karen Lindauer, retired from CDC, has been an active volunteer at Woodlands Gardens and Mason Mill Park for a number of years. A long-time member of the Georgia Native Plant Society, she has a special interest in herbaceous native plants and invasive plant removal. Her volunteer efforts are based on information gained through facilitating GNPS native plant rescues and volunteering with George Sanko at the GSU Perimeter College Botanical Garden. Nothing is more rewarding than "liberating" a tree from English Ivy. She especially enjoys sharing the incredible diversity at Woodlands Gardens--a botanical gem right in Decatur.   

Sharon Worsham is a retired science and environmental education teacher. She enjoys being co-chair of the Intown GNPS Certification Committee and seeing so many wonderful native plant habitats of those certified. Her love of wildflowers began hiking in the North Georgia Mountains with the Georgia Botanical Society and rescuing native plants for her own yard. She has a deep appreciation of Woodlands Garden as a former Board member and long-time volunteer, where she helped write their trail guide and kiosk signage. Sharon enjoys sharing her enthusiasm for wildflowers and teaching workshops on foraging for wild foods.
