EphemeralWalk


Fee: $20/$16 members
Registration: Registration is closed.

Join horticulturist Justine Miller on a plant walk through Lynden's grounds with a primary focus on Wisconsin native spring ephemerals. These plants are the earliest flowers to bloom and keep their growing season brief as they take advantage of full sunlight in the bare woods. Participants will learn about their ecology, cultivation, and how they can promote these beautiful species in their own yards.

Visitors are welcome to stop by the bonsai patio to observe world-class bonsai artist Suthin Sukosolvisit as he conducts a workshop for the bonsai volunteers who staff the pavilion at Lynden. Suthin, the artistic director of the Milwaukee Bonsai Foundation, will focus on refinement of the exhibit bonsai: the skills to keep “finished” trees looking their best are very different from those needed to develop a new bonsai. Born in Thailand, Suthin and his wife operate the Royal Bonsai Garden in Stoughton, Massachusetts.
