Porritt Wildflower TrailThis garden was created in memory of Lonnie and Phyllis Porritt, long-time supporters of the Nature Center and lovers of wildlife. Native wildflowers grow here naturally; others have been planted along both sides of this trail. Begun as a small trail, it has been expanded and enhanced through the generous efforts of the Cherry Brook Garden Club of Canton. Most wildflowers bloom in the spring before the leaves on the trees provide too much shade. These flowers are often referred to as "ephemerals" due to their short blooming season. A guide to our wildflowers is available in the Nature Center's store. |
