Our hikes and lectures are free and open to the public, and all are welcome. (but we depend on our memberships to cover our expenses.) ."You don’t have to be a plant expert to enjoy these trips and lectures. The locations are amazing and the atmosphere is casual. I’ve enjoyed every event that I’ve attended for many years!"- BB.

What you missed- On Sunday June 1, 2025 about 50 of us enjoyed our annual potluck picnic at Keystone Flora, a local native plant nursery. Great food and conversation at the event which is shared with Northside Greenspace.

---------------- May 2025 -----------------

Saturday, July 5, 2025 at 10 am: Miami Meadows Park, Clermont County, Ohio

Please join leader Dan Boone as he leads us through Miami Meadows Park. Dan is one of the most knowledgeable and hard-working botanists in our region.

Dan says we will see swamp rose, several Juncus species in the Rush family, a ragged fringed orchid and a variety of other plants. Since the plants are behind due to our cool spring, we may not (or may) see Virginia meadow-beauty (Rhexia virginica) and meadowsweet (Spiraea tomentosa).

RSVP- - Please RSVP to Angela Carter, wildflowerfieldtrips@gmail.com or 513-300-2787, so we know how many are planning to attend.

Directions - This park is about 5 miles east of Milford, Ohio. We will meet in the parking lot near the “Bark Park at Miami Meadows” which is a location that Google Maps knows. When you turn into the park from Rt 131, drive 1 mile on the park road to our parking lot at the end. Driving time from Cincy is about 40 minutes.
