Wildflower Celebration – Awbrey Park, Saturday May 6

Posted on April 29, 2017 by Gary Haliski

The Friends of Awbrey Park invite you to the 6th annual Wildflower Celebration on Saturday, May 6th from 11 am to 2 pm.  Awbrey Park is at the corner of River Road and Spring Creek Drive about 2 miles north of Fred Meyers.

The Wildflower Celebration is a perfect time to see native plants in bloom.  You will even have a chance to take home a native plant for your garden.  Native plants take less water and fertilizer than non natives and are more likely to survive our climate.

So come join the Friends of Awbrey park.  Play some horse shoes, roast some s’mores and go on a treasure hunt.

Family friendly, you’re kids will love it!
