Monday, March 23rd, 10 a.m. until ??
Come visit beautiful Bouverie Preserve in Glen Ellen and hike and sketch the wildflowers in season. I can take six to eight hikers out so sign up now- no cost (although Bouverie always appreciates any donations). Bouverie is just down the road from Sonoma and next door to Quarry Hill. Unlike Quarry Hill, Bouverie is preserved Sonoma County land with four plant communities, a wonderful creek and a waterfall. This is an amazing place to visit anytime of year but wildflower season is truly beautiful. We do school hikes for third and fourth gradersbut Monday is a free day so it will be quiet and peaceful at the Preserve.
Bring lunch and sketching materials. For more information and to sign up contact
