*Press Release

Georgia residents, we can’t deny that the weather here lately has been pretty nice, and our winter was very mild compared to some years. So, I’m guessing it’s safe to say that most of us already have Spring Fever! I know I do! I can’t wait to start planting my spring flowers and enjoying more outdoor time with my family at the local parks!

So today I wanted to share with you about………..

Wildflower Walks Celebrate Spring Blooms in Georgia’s State Parks!

Longer days, warmer weather and colorful blooms are sure signs of Spring’s arrival. To celebrate the season, Georgia State Park rangers are hosting a series of guided wildflower walks that provide a close look at blooms such as Canada Violet, Trout Lily, Wild Azalea, Spring Beauty, Foamflower, Trillium, Indian Pink and Buckeye.  For details on Georgia State Park wildflower walks and other events, visit www.GeorgiaStateParks.org/events.
