It’s spring and the designers at Main Street are working long hours creating and installing beautiful landscapes and hardscapes for our clients.\u00a0 It’s hard to find time for other activities at this time of the year.\u00a0 But, Laura (our office manager) and I broke away for a couple of hours last Monday to go to Balls Bluff Battlefield Regional Park in Leesburg to see all of the wildflowers that are currently blooming. Laura is able to identify each wildflower, plus she has a great eye for finding them.<\/p>\n

I fell in love with wildflowers as a teenager due to a fabulous teacher that I had in high school.\u00a0 He took our class on many walks through the grounds surrounding the school where we learned to identify the vegetation.\u00a0 The wildflowers were my favorite.<\/p>\n

I think this one is my favorite.<\/p>\n

To this day, I can identify many of the wildflowers that pop up in our back yards such as Yellow Wood Sorrel and Gill-over-the-ground,<\/p>\n
