The Oklahoma Native Plant Society is hosting its annual Wonders of Wildflowers weekend April 29-May 1, 2022. This year’s location has changed from the flyer. ALL activities will be at the Redbud Valley Nature Preserve with privileged access, on-site workshops as well as the presentations on lichens, and wildcrafting and foraging. Learn how to identify lichens on trees and rocks. Learn how to make a tea or salve from plants you’ve collected in the field.
Early registration has ended. On-site registration (without meal option) will be available.
