Bluebell Festival at Merrimac Farm April 7, 2013, from 10:00am to 4:00pm

Please join us to welcome spring and view the spectacular display of Virginia Bluebells that carpet the floodplain along Cedar Run for nearly a mile. In the words of one visitor, it’s like walking through Oz.

A bake sale and a hand-painted rain barrel raffle will benefit stewardship projects at Merrimac Farm will round out the event. Concessions and food from N.C. Ribs on Wheels will be available for purchase.

Schedule of Events

Tours last about 90 minutes and take an easy one-mile walk through the floodplain. Each tour has a special focus, although leaders also cover other interesting sights you see along the way. Bring binoculars, cameras and the kids!
