A Website about Urban Environmental Restoration in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia
We went to Shenks Ferry today and we had a wonderful time taking photographs of
the many blooming flowers. We are putting this post up as quickly as possible to inform those curious of what is currently blooming. We will post more pictures tomorrow. 
Today we went for a 2 mile walk in West Fairmount Park and have observed some of the blooms. The Alleys of cherry trees were blooming beautifully. We walked the brand new trail at the horticultural center. May apples and Trout Lily were coming up. Some of the Trout lily were about to bloom!

We are very excited about the new trail and all of the restoration work done at the horticultural center ravine . Pictured above is a Trout Lily there that is about to bloom!

Covering the hillsides on the upper trail behind Valley Green. This was on Saturday, April 6th. Â We found some being crowded by lesser Celandine, which we pulled up around the plants, as illustrated below.
