On Sunday, May 3 from 1 to 4 p.m., there will be a wildflower walk with local flower expert Josie D’Alessandro as she shares identification tips and natural history of the local flowers. Bring a bottle of water and a camera for some pictures.

The weekend includes two nights of lodging and meals from Friday dinner to Sunday lunch, and costs $205 for those who stay over, with a $155 commuter rate.

On Saturday, May 9 and Sunday, May 10, there will be a plant sale from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is also a pre-sale for PEEC members on Friday, May 8, from 6 to 8 p.m. Choose from a variety of native and deer resistant flowers, shrubs and grasses to beautify your yard. Perennials include coneflowers, bee balm, asters, foxglove, yarrow, cranesbill, lungwort and much more.
