Walk•About: William Hastie



Wild geranium (Geranium maculatum)




Botanizing was a popular hobby in the mid-1800s. Henry David Thoreau did it as did thousands others. And with over 1,000 flowering plants in Tennessee, there's a lot out there to find in our state alone.


This Saturday, April 23, join me and guest wildflower aficionados Lynne and Bob Davis for an afternoon wildflower search at William Hastie Natural Area in South Knoxville near Ijams.


Free to Ijams members. $5 for non-members. Call 577-4717, ext. 10 to register.


Great fun!
