The Friends of Tryon Creek, in partnership with OPRD, kick off spring each year with the Trillium Festival and Native and Hardy Plant Sale. Now in its 32nd year, the festival and plant sale takes place the weekend before Easter. This year, the event landed on March 31st and April 1st.
Festival goers from around the region (and a number from out of state) paid homage to the beauty of the forest, enjoyed the happenings (an amazing plant sale, garden art, craft and edibles artisans, live music, guided hikes, children's nature activities... the list goes on and on), and celebrated the joie de vivre that comes from spending time with one's community in a natural space.
Many thanks to everyone who came to Tryon Creek and made the Trillium Festival a lovely experience for all.
