Visit Central Park this spring to read the latest storybook - WILDFLOWER! By Melanie Brown, Illustrated by Sara Gillingham!   This beautifully illustrated book will give you second thoughts about what we might call a "weed" while introducing native, non-native, and invasive species terminology and definitions.  The Jones County Wild For Reading StoryWalk® Trail head can be found in the forest behind the modern camping area at Central Park.  Follow directional signage within the park.
