The Winter Aconite are just foliage now, and the impressive though invasive carpets of blue/purple Squill (scilla) are fading, but popping up throughout the ravine area are Virginia Bluebells, Dutchman’s Breeches, Spring Beauties, and the beginning foliage of Trout Lilies and May Apples.

Unfortunately, also coming back to life are the honeysuckle, euonymus, and the garlic mustard.

Please join your friends and neighbors in the coming weeks as we remove and bag garlic mustard and other invasive plants from the ravine and our own yards to make it possible for the native plants to return and thrive.
