Here’s email from Geralyn Delaney Graham about a romp in the woods and three-hour nature hike at Glynwood Center in Cold Spring on May 3 (Derby Day!).
“Glynwood Center Presents:
Spring Ephemerals, A Walk in our Woods
Saturday, May 3, 10am – 4 pm
“Explore the wonders of our spring forest in this lecture and 3-hour hike through Glynwood’s rich and diverse landscape and neighboring Fahnestock State Park. Mr. Lorimer will introduce us to native spring ephemerals, the environments that nurture them, and the invasive species that threaten them. He will also talk about little-known woodland shade plants and ferns that are difficult to grow.
“To participate fully in this exploration you must be able to hike on forest trails that are moderately steep in places.
“Ulrich Lorimer is Curator of Native Plants at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. A cum laude graduate of University of Delaware, he has also worked at the National Arboretum and Wave Hill.
“The workshop is $65 and includes lunch. Registration and advance payment are required. To register, contact Anita Barber at 845-265-3338 or abarber@glynwood.org
“Glynwood Center is located on Route 301 (off Route 9) in Cold Spring.

Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
