WCLT's Wildflower Hunt continues through October! Three flowers were posted on March 1, and more will be posted April 3. Check WCLT’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/westboroughlandtrust every month, where we will post pictures of wildflowers that bloom that month. If you see those flowers in Westborough, comment with a picture and include where you saw it. Have fun and learn to identify local wildflowers at the same time! Please, absolutely no picking flowers or damaging plants!
