About the Hike: April showers bring May flowers. It’s mid-May and lots of Spring wildflowers are in full bloom in Virginia Wood. Join Boot Boutwell on a slow-paced nature walk which will focus on wildflower identification as well as fun and interesting natural history. Perhaps we’ll see the flower which The Chippewa reportedly used as a remedy for craziness. Meet in the driveway of #1 Woodland Rd at the intersection of Woodland Rd and Pond Street in Stoneham.
