The California Native Plant Society Docents have had an exceptionally busy spring. Because of the diversity, beauty and amazing number of wildflowers at Edgewood Park and Preserve, record numbers of people from the Bay Area have taken advantage of the weekend wildflower walks. Ideally between ten and twelve people comprise a docent-led walk. Reservations are not necessary, except for groups of ten or more. The wildflower walks will continue through June 11. See the enclosed flyer for details.

Docent training sessions for next season will begin in September. There are five classes and field trips, ending in early March, 1996. The Friends of Edgewood and CNPS cosponsor the classes held in homes and at the park. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn and share your knowledge with others. If you are interested, please call me.

Meanwhile, remember that the show of wildflowers is not over. It is time to enjoy the mariposa lilies, both yellow and white. Come see the soap root plant bloom at dusk and the serpentine grassland covered with magenta colored Clarkia, also known as Farewell-to-Spring.
