Searching for Minnesota's Native Wildflowers

Author Phyllis Root and photographer Kelly Povo spent ten years exploring Minnesota’s woods, prairies, hillsides, lakes, and bogs for wildflowers, taking pictures and notes, gathering clues, mapping the way for fellow flower hunters. They will present on their epic pursuit with helpful tips, exquisite photographs, and the story of their own search.
