New visitors are arriving at Stockholm Park everyday.

The phoebes are singing their hearts out, and tree swallows are swooping over Stockholm Pond.  Red Admirals, the first migrant butterflies, have arrived, and, astonishingly, tiger swallowtail butterflies are darting about, freshly emerged from their chrysalises.  Since the swallowtails are highly vulnerable to frost, we are hoping that others wait to come out and that the frost does not return.  The woods are filling with the flowers of late April:  Dutchman's breeches, large-flowered bellwort, and rue anemone.  Trilliums, which usually open in May, are ready to blossom, too. 

Stop by and see these and other visitors to the Park.  Watch turtles sunning in Stockholm Pond. Harvest as much watercress as you like from the creek that runs through Stockholm Park. Look for tortoiseshell butterflies feeding on spring flowers and sunning on the buildings. Track honey bees gathering nectar from Siberian squill. 

Relax next to a sunny sidewalk table at one of our eateries, order a tasty treat, and enjoy these new visitors.  Drop by the shops and check out the new items for spring.
