    Join us as we explore the botanical diversity of Deer Pond Farm on a gentle walk focusing on the identification and importance of native wildflowers. There will be a brief lesson on Lawrence Newcomb’s Wildflower Guide, which employs a simple-to-use system for quickly identifying the plants of the northeastern United States. You may wish to bring binoculars, a hand lens for smaller flowers, and a wildflower guidebook if you have one.
