The City of Knoxville and Knox County's Parks and Recreation Departments are offering a new program beginning this weekend that combines walking with an opportunity to learn more about wildflowers.
The walks are organized by Kathleen Gibi, Public Affairs Specialist with the City of Knoxville Parks & Rec.
The Tour de Fleur, a monthly wildflower walking series is set to begin at 11 a.m., Saturday, April 16 at Ijams Nature Center. The series will continue through the first weekend in September.
Kathleen and I will be leading this first walk along the Will Skelton Greenway from Ijams and venture out onto the breathtaking boardwalk that hangs out over the Tennessee River for a good view of the wildflowers growing along the Bluff.
All Tour de Fleur walks will be on Saturdays and led by a nature guide. Walks will either be on Will Skelton Greenway or the Ten Mile Creek Greenway, developed by both the city and county, in West Knoxville.
