The Wildflower Festival! This Saturday!

Time for the salmonberries to bloom!

Bloom Week at American Camp wraps up on Saturday (tomorrow!) with the Wildflower Festival – Amanda Brast has put together a nice line up of music for the day – see you there!

Here’s the scoop, from Amanda:

San Juan Island National Historical Park will host Bloom Week, a weeklong celebration of spring, May 3-7 at the park’s American Camp unit.

The event includes daily ranger guided walks, a wildflower display in the American Camp visitor center, volunteer projects, and fun activities for the entire family. The week culminates with the Wildflower Festival on Saturday, May 7 on the American Camp parade ground with booths featuring local artists and nature conservation organizations, plus music, games and activities, prizes and more. Although the main celebration begins the first week of May, Bloom Week-related ranger-guided walks and talks began in April and run at both American and English camps through June.
