The Botany Trail at Flanders Nature Center and Land Trust was
developed and is maintained by the Pomperaug Valley Garden Club since 1965. The
trail is a refuge for wildflowers and native plants that have been rescued from
area development. The trail is approximately one mile in length and features
gentle terrain suitable for any age level.
Since its inception, this Botany Trail had taken many awards and has
delighted wild flowers enthusiasts. Flanders
Botany Trail meanders through woodlands and fields and features more than 250
species of native perennials, trees, shrubs and ferns. It is at one of its
loveliest times in the spring when there are over 150 wildflowers
on the trail blooming at different times.
The walks are offered free
of charge to the public but donations are welcomed. The group will meet in the
Flanders Sugar House parking lot, which is located off Church Hill Road, approximately 1/4 mile from the intersection of Flanders and
Church Hill Roads in Woodbury. In the
event of rain that day’s walk will be cancelled. For further information, call
