Local nonprofit Grow Wild announced in a press release the return of their annual Big Sky Wildflower Festival from July 8 through 12. The press release encourages anyone from nature lovers to artists to check out the festival for inspiration and education.
The free schedule of events includes guided hikes, expert-led workshops, educational talks, yoga in the garden, flower arranging workshops, watercolor workshops and more. In partnership with local organizations, offerings include high country birding with the Sacajawea Audubon Society, a nature journaling workshop with the Gallatin Valley Nature Society and a forest-focused guided hike led by a retired U.S. Forest Service forester.
Workshops and educational talks will be held at Crail Gardens, located within Historic Crail Ranch at 2100 Spotted Elk Rd. in Big Sky at different times throughout the weekend. Guided hikes will be held at various locations within Gallatin Canyon and Big Sky.
“I really want to highlight that this is a great opportunity to learn about the importance of conservation for native species,” Conservation Program Coordinator Abby Butler said in an interview with EBS.
