Every year, right about the date of this class, something wonderful happens here in the southeast. Numerous species of our native wildflowers awaken and fill forest and field with a show of diverse color and form. Many of these plants are ephemeral and after displaying their spring beauty, will go dormant as the trees leaf out. Our collection of native plants at Birmingham Botanical Gardens is the largest in the state, and class participants, after learning some basics about spring ephemerals, will spend time viewing them and learning their stories. Those attending will also be able to preview the hundreds of plants that will be available at our Spring Plant Sale.
