Tickets $40
This event is sold out. Contact us to be added to the waiting list. 

Meet at Belle Grove for coffee and pasteries and then drive over to Fort Bowman Road for walk to learn about Virginia wildflowers led by Dr. Woody Bousquet, Professor Emeritus of Environmental Studies and Biology, Shenandoah University. The timing of this event will hopefully coincide with the blooming of the Virginia Bluebells along Cedar Creek. Then we will enjoy a boxed lunch at Fort Bowman and learn about the preservation project going on there. 

While the walk will not be strenous, the ground is uneven and guests should wear shoes that can handle walking on soft ground and mud.  This is a rain or shine event.
