After at least ten years of Flower Focus Group, thank you Eileen Ford, we are making a shift to Insect Focus Group. We may re-visit Flower Focus Group in the future.
Interesting plant sightings:
Small Round-leaved Orchid (Amerorchis rotundifolia var. lineata), double-flowered Sparrow’s egg Lady’s Slipper (Cypripedium passerinum), variation of Fairy Slipper (Calypso bulbosa)

Native Plant Garden
RDRN has funded a native plant garden at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre. It is located to the south of the main doors. RDRN is indebted to the Red Deer Garden Club for their tireless work in maintaining the garden. To see plants located in the garden and information about them, please click here.
Common Alberta Trees
Several years ago, RDRN planted representative specimens of common Alberta trees at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre. To see information about some common trees of Alberta, please click here.
Ever wonder about all those flower seed packages for sale? We did and so, RDRN in cooperation with Ellis Bird Farm bought 10 different packages. We planted them to see what would grow. You may be surprised. For more information, please Click here.
