Little Allurements

I love to give away flowers to visitors to Hershey Children’s Garden. There is something magical in a stimulatingly-colorful bloom that excites the senses. For example, one little girl gets excited over daisies, looking for more each time she visits. Zoe can not get enough of her favorite flower. Children leave with a bright memory in hand and a reason to return.

Myself, I love to pick flowers apart (No, not to determine the state of my love life.) to see the amazing design and construction in detail. Plants should be proud of the amazing “for sale” signs they produce to market themselves. This month is all about pollinators and the flowers they love. Garden staff discuss with visitors why some flowers need pollinating and why pollination is important to human beings, so make it a point to ‘petal’ on down. Maybe you, too, will leave with memories in hand.
