For the fifth year, Iowa Native Plant Society is celebrating wildflowers in a special week at the end of April through the beginning of May. Iowa Wildflower Week was created by and is coordinated by INPS. Flowers are an ideal attraction to help introduce people to native plants and natural areas.
Iowa Wildflower Week (IWW) celebrates native wildflowers in their natural surroundings. It celebrates those that have been sown or planted in restorations, reconstructions, and gardens. Celebrate IWW by organizing or attending a field trip, visiting a native garden, planning a garden or addition to your existing landscaping, or help others to learn more about native plants and our natural areas.
This is a statewide event. Stay tuned to your local media and www.iowaprairienetwork.org to find out the great activities. Contact dianne.blankenship@gmail.com with questions.
