Early April, I walked the winding path from the barn to the garden with my friend Jeannie who had just taken the Vermont Master Naturalist course in Washington County—and was soooooo excited to traverse the forest and discover. Canada May Flower, Starflower, and Trout Lily. Along the roadside, Coltsfoot, Heartleaf Foamflower, Smooth Solomon’s Seal.

And the Woodland Forget-me-Not.
