Spring Wild Flower Pilgrimage in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park

Mark and Pam Hanson have twice participated in a beautiful celebration of native wildflowers in the Smokeys.  At the end of April the Park hosts naturalists and botanists, and just plain flower lovers, from all over the country.  Every day is filled with whole day or half day hikes into different microclimates to enjoy the flora.  In recent times, more than 900 pilgrims from more than 32 states and several countries participated.

Pam and Mark will bring the best of their vast photo collection of early spring wildflowers in Tennessee.  This will be a celebration of the return of spring which we are all waiting for…  They will also answer questions about the Pilgrimage, and their experience growing wild flowers here in Concord.
