A Walk Through the Seasons with Rhode Island Wild Plants
The Society received a special legislative grant to design and print a children's coloring book of native Rhode Island plants. The General Federation of Women's Club of South County provided additional funding.

The book includes 32 original drawings by Rhode Island artists and features flowers commonly found throughout Rhode Island. Some are easy to find; all you need to do is look in your backyard or down a country road. Others will take some effort, maybe a hike through a forest, or you will have to get your feet wet in the marsh.

We hope getting to know these flowers will help Rhode Islanders make a direct connection with natural places, our woodlands, meadows and wetlands. The book follows the seasons of bloom from early spring to late fall.

It is much more than just a coloring book; it is also an introductory field guide, which parents can use to help their children find and identify plants.

The books are available for a $5.00 donation. Contact Karen Asher to order copies at (401) 783-1307 or office@riwps.org.
