Several years ago Mary Cooper convinced her friends in the

Horticulture Club that they should get permission from the

administration to clear out an abused wood lot and turn it into a

wildflower park.

The administration accepted the idea and even provided an

attractive entry way and some benches. After a significant

volunteer effort the wildflower woods is a jewel of Bristol Village.

Spring is a special time when residents make frequent trips to the

wildflower woods to see the promise and progress of the many

varieties of wildflowers now found there.
