Opelika, Alabama
Project Leader: Billie Oliver
Location: Municipal Park, Opelika, Alabama. The trail is accessed through the Salem Shotwell Covered Bridge on Park Rd.
Project Description: Native plant collection in a woodland setting. Selected native azaleas and wildflowers from Caroline Dean's wildflower collection have been transplanted to this new home in Opelika's Municipal Park by Lee County Master Gardeners. Once the garden is complete and mature it will serve as a wildflower learning center and sanctuary. The CDWT is open to the public during park hours. We are looking forward to this year's blooms and the promise they bring for a future display that will only improve over time.
