Join a woodland walk at Garfield Farm Museum

On Saturday, May 2, Garfield Farm Museum director Jerome Johnson will lead a walk through the museum's Garfield Harley Pond and Woods.

Impacts of the recent rains and swings in temperature have sped up the warming of the soils and activity in the ephemeral pond. Traditionally, rue anemone should be blooming but the wild hyacinth may be coming two weeks early into its glory.

Participants will meet at 9 a.m. at Garfield Farm Museum, 2N930 Garfield Road in Campton Hills.

A car caravan will leave the museum for the woods. Appropriate clothing and shoes for muddy ground and tick spray is encouraged.

It is $8 a person. Make your reservation by emailing info@garfieldfarm.org or call (630) 584-8485.
