13 members of the Smoky Mountains Chapter of the Wild Ones  traveled to Townsend yesterday to join us for a tour of the TRWA. A great group with members from all over Knox/Sevier/Blount Counties that provides education about landscaping with native plants and sharing with others in their communities and networks about why it’s important to reintroduce native plants into public and private gardens and how to go about doing it.  Additional Information about this chapter of the Wild Ones and how to join can be found at https://smokymountains.wildones.org/

The weather, wildflower and tree blooming didn't disappoint.   There is so much to see at the TRWA this time of the year that each day nature provides a different palette.  Stop by for yourself and enjoy natures beauty.
