Flying Trillium Gardens and Preserve

Carolyn Summers, Missy Fabel, and Patty Butter

Sunday, September 14th | 10 am – 4 pm

Flying Trillium Gardens and Preserve protects over 385 acres of gardens, meadows, forest, and a rare kettle hole bog in Sullivan County. Founded by Carolyn Summers, landscape designer and author of Designing Gardens with Flora of the American East, the not-for-profit maintains the nature preserve as a native plant sanctuary. Not open to the general public, this is a unique opportunity to enjoy the great diversity of wild native plants, Asters and Goldenrods found in the preserve’s fields and woods. We may find Spiranthes orchids and other unusual plants.

Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring water, lunch, a sun hat, crocs or other aquatic footwear, and be prepared for ticks.

If you have any questions about the trip before registering, please email flyingtrillium@nyflora.org.

All NYFA field trips are free and open to all.
