The moon may not be bursting with wildflowers.

But Craters of the Moon National Monument boasts a magnificent display, despite its incredibly hostile environment. And you can learn all about them during a special lecture and a guided tour.

The Sawtooth Botanical Garden has organized an illustrated lecture by Idaho Department of Fish and Game’s rare plant specialist Dr. Lynn Kinter who is researching rare plants found only at the monument. The lecture will start at 6:30 p.m. Friday, June 1, at the garden, four miles south of Ketchum.

Friday’s talk will be followed by an all-day field trip led by Kinter to Craters of the Moon National Monument east of Carey. The trip is the second in a series of Wildflower Walks this summer offered by the SBG and Wood River Chapter of the Idaho Native Plant Society.

Saturday’s walk is free. Participants should meet at 8:30 a.m. at Sawtooth Botanical Garden to carpool. Estimated time of return is 4:30 p.m. Walkers should expect a moderately difficult walk with uneven terrain.

Friday’s lecture costs $10 for SBG members and $12 for nonmembers with preregistration recommended at www.sbgarden.org.

For more information, call 208-726-9358.
