On Thursday, June 7, at 6:30 pm, we will meet at the
Kentucky Horse Park
for a potluck picnic and a tour of the landscape plantings around the Visitor Center and in other public areas. Several Wild Ones members have worked at the Horse Park over the last few years to install native plant flower beds. We will visit these sites in the company of their creators.
Please park in front of the Visitor Center. The guard gate should not be staffed at this time of day, but if someone is there and asks questions, just say you are going to an event with Annie Martin (who is the volunteer coordinator). The Visitor Center will be closed; just walk to the left of it through an open black gate and the Bit and Bridle restaurant will be dead ahead. We will meet on the patio of the restaurant.
Please bring a dish to share and your own beverage.
