You won't need to sail off through night and day or in and out of weeks. Will County is where the wildflowers are! Bluebells, mayapples, Jack-in-the-pulpits and toothwort — our wildflowers have stories to tell! Journey to O’Hara Woods, a top spot to seek wildflowers. Join a naturalist for a hike to find wildflowers and hear stories of how these beauties got their names, their uses through time, and other lore and legends.
These ephemeral blooms are beautiful but fleeting. Join us each month for more chapters in the ever-changing tale of wildflowers as old ones fade and new ones bloom. Look for other preserves in this series or choose your own adventure. We invite you to visit the same preserve each month to see the changes unfold over time or mix it up and enjoy a different preserve for the full story of Will County wildflowers.
