From Marvin Pritts, Department of Horticulture chair:
On Sunday May 4, a group of 16 intrepid horticulture hikers and friends headed off to explore Lick Brook, south of Ithaca. The hiking was excellent, the waterfalls were flowing, and the wildflowers were out in abundance.
Seen along the hike were early saxifrage, black cohosh, solomon’s seal, trout lily, bloodroot, hepatica, colt’s foot, red and white trillium, violet, and anemone.
Future hikes will likely be scheduled to other scenic, off-the-beaten-path locations around Ithaca.
