SUMMARY:Flowering Trees Walk
DESCRIPTION:“April showers bring May flowers” is a common saying\, but here in the Pacific Northwest that nursery rhyme should end something like “…but March rain is a staple\, so we also have flowers in April.” Our flowering trees start their shows as early as February\, with trees in the rose family often being some of the earliest. Join arborist Casey Clapp\, creator and co-host of the tree podcast Completely Arbortrary\, in this tree walk to take a close look at the beautiful flowers that are out this time of year. You will learn about flower anatomy\, function\, and a bit of their evolutionary repercussions. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum\, and registration is required through their website.
