Spring has passed and as we wait for the next big bloom time in mid to late summer the Pollinator & Memorial Garden is giving us a bit of a show.  Currently there is Coneflower, Monarda, Butterfly Weed, Phlox, Zinnia, Yellow Twig Dogwood and more in bloom and lots more to come.  Next the Yellow Wingstem will be blooming throughout the Townsend River Walk & Arboretum (TRWA) getting ready for that spectacular mid-Summer and Fall bloomfest.  A great time to take a walk along the tree lined shaded TRWA, during these hot summer days.  Enjoy your walk and check out our What's Blooming section of the website to help with flower identification.
