Join expert Maryalice Turner for a magical journey into the world of native spring ephemerals during this celebration of Pennsylvania Native Species Day.
Drawing on her experience nurturing tens of thousands of blooms—from whimsical Dutchman’s breeches to delicate squirrel corn—Turner explores why these fleeting wildflowers are vital to our ecosystems, where they thrive, and how to spot them in the landscape. Explore native spring ephemerals’ bloom times, where to purchase native ephemerals, and how to care for them in your own garden. Experience firsthand the magic of these native treasures and how they connect us to the rhythms of the natural world.
Enjoy a small bite and cocktail to round out the fun.
