Wildflowers have lots of fans! The Wildflower Trails of Mississippi works with its many partners to teach Mississippians about wildflowers. Recently, we hosted a Wildflower Field Day at Mississippi State Extension Service’s Coastal Plain Branch Experiment Station in Newton.

We learned about native seed production, backyard habitats and milkweed management as well as took a field tour.

A big thank you to all of our partners, including Keep Mississippi Beautiful, Mississippi Department of Transportation, Mississippi Association of Conservation Districts, Mississippi Master Gardeners, Mississippi Soil and Water Conservation Commission and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service.
