While Hoyt Arboretum is known as a museum of living trees from around the world, did you know that the Arboretum also has extensive natural areas with many native wildflowers? Join us for a short classroom session, then a longer outside walk while we explore and identify many of the common wildflowers that are typical of the Portland area. Be prepared for the weather with good walking shoes, rain gear, etc.
