thanks Tour de Fleur




Purple phacelia


Special thanks goes to those that attended the first of several wildflower walks organized by Kathleen Gibi, with the city parks and rec, and Ellen Blasius with the county parks and rec.

Despite the cool winds and mucky mud we had a wonderful turnout.

The Tour de Fleur will visit several city and county locations over the next few months.

On Saturday, we walked along the Will Skelton Greenway in South Knoxville and the River Trail at Ijams looking for seasonal wildflowers. One of the most beautiful was the purple phacelia, a.k.a fern-leaf phacelia that's blooming near the Ijams boardwalk above the Tennessee River.

Thanks, Kathleen and Ellen.
