Spring has fully sprung in Hendricks Park. Many different types and colors of azaleas and rhododendrons adorn the paths through the Rhododendron Garden, with more to come soon. With migrating songbirds, either returning or passing through, singing in the trees above, now is a wonderful time to visit the park.
Mothers Day
Mothers Day, Sunday, May 10th, is traditionally one of the busiest days in the park. Members of the Board of Friends of Hendricks Park, along with city staff, will be guiding visitors to parking spots and hosting a welcoming table in the garden to answer your questions about flowers and the park. Come and partake of the lively atmosphere, seeing friends and enjoying the splendor of the outdoors and the park.
Volunteers
The Tuesday morning crew in the Rhododendron Garden and the Thursday afternoon group in the Native Plant Garden have been busy weeding and pulling blackberries, preparing the gardens for Mothers Day. Stop by to help with the work and meet new and old friends.
What’s Blooming in the Forest
Tellima Grandiflora, or fringecup, is an herbacious flowering plant in the family Saxifragacease. The plant is native to forests in western North America, stretching from Alaska to Northern California. It is blooming in abundance now along the paths in the forested part of Hendricks Park.
