North Star Voices: Chasing Wildflowers
August 2, 2025 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
Overview
In this program, Phyllis Root and Kelly Povo set out to share their experiences throughout the state of Minnesota as they search for these hidden gems of nature. Featuring Povo’s gorgeous photographs and Root’s finely detailed descriptions, their presentation will chronicle the thrills and occasional mishaps of the friends’ searches, from wading rivers and climbing rocky outcrops to getting their boots stuck in deep muck while on the run from an approaching storm. Neither botanists nor biologists, Root and Povo are wildflower enthusiasts determined to share resources and practical tips for your own outings.
Beyond Minnesota’s sunlit prairies and lush north woods, wonders of wildflowers bloom, gracing fens and forested swamps, sand dunes and the rocky North Shore, even ditches and abandoned mine dumps.
The free event will include a talk, Q&A session, and book signing. Books will be available for purchase. Registration is recommended, but not required. If you're unable to attend, the event is also accessible virtually via Zoom: https://mnhs-org.zoom.us/j/852....
