Have a "Blooming Good Time" at special behind the scenes garden event
Gardeners, hobbyists and those with a passion for flowers are invited to attend "A Blooming Good Time: Investigating Michigan's Native Spring Flora," on Saturday, May 17 at 9:30am. This special event takes people on a rare tour of Cranbrook Institute of Science's botany collection and a docent-led walking tour of Cranbrook's bog and wildflower gardens. It is part of the ongoing educational series, "Behind the Scenes: Exploring Cranbrook's Collections," which puts visitors face to face with rarely seen treasures from Cranbrook's historical and archival treasures.
"A Blooming Good Time" will help participants learn to identify plant and flower species common to Michigan woodlands and wetland environments. The tour also will include an up-close look at the early blooming wildflowers that flourish in Cranbrook's gardens.
The event will be held rain or shine. Please note: participants will be walking approximately one mile over uneven terrain.
Pre-registration is required for "A Blooming Good Time." Registration deadline is May 9. Admission is $35 per person or $25 per person for members of Cranbrook Art Museum, Cranbrook Institute of Science or Cranbrook House and Gardens. For more information or to register, call 248-645-3142.
