Wildflower Show – Town Hall
May 4, 2016 - May 7, 2016
The Wildflower Show is open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm from May 4th to May 7th, 2017. It is located in the lower level of the Julian Town Hall (corner of Highway 78/79 and Main Street).
The Julian Wildflower Show has been an historical event for over 90 years. Because of Julian’s mountain valley location, bordering a national forest and close to the Anza-Borrego State Park, we have 855 species of plants within 25 miles of town, many of which were used for health and healing by Native Americans. The Wildflower Show is meant to educate club members, local residents, out-of-town visitors and children about the botanical wealth of Julian and its vicinity.
With permission from landowners, club members spent two days gathering wildflowers from five plant zones. The wildflowers are displayed in the Julian Town Hall for four days. The flowers are arranged on tables representing the different geographical areas and plant zones in which they are picked. Display cards provide the name of the plant and describe uses of the various plants by Native Americans. A club member is present throughout the show to answer questions and share a book she created that illustrates 857 local plants she personally identified.
