“Wabash County has incredibly stunning wildflower farms bursting with color,” said Jennifer Long-Dillon, tourism manager for Visit Wabash County. “There are a lot of interesting things people can do with wildflowers in addition to simply enjoying their beauty. This tour will offer insight about many of our native flowers. I am excited to share this immersive tour with the public and am grateful to Eclectic Shoppe for sponsoring the event.”
The tour will leave from the Welcome Center in downtown Wabash and make its way to Catey Heritage homestead where tour participants will learn about the symbolic meaning of each wildflower and will make their own hair clip with locally dried flowers. The tour also includes exploring Wild Blooms and Spring Hill Farms and hearing about the medicinal purposes of a variety of native wildflowers. Each stop includes creating a take-home keepsake made at each stop along the tour.
Along with the keepsakes, included in the ticket price are refreshments from Bailey’s Pizza Parlor, Modoc’s Market, lavender infused martinis and lemonade and peppermint tea. The tour will conclude with a stop at the Eclectic Shoppe where guests will receive a special gift and in-store discounts reserved exclusively for attendees that day.
