Life is pretty hectic at times, which is why, every now and then, you’ve got to stop and smell the…zinnias! We know just the place, too – the Ridgeland Wildflower Field. The perfect spot for a scenic stroll, the field is overflowing with colorful zinnias as well as other wildflowers.
The Ridgeland Wildflower Field is located on W. Jackson Street in Ridgeland.
An eye-catching sight, the roadside display features mainly zinnias. Why zinnias? Not only are they colorful, but they can withstand summer heat and drought.
We recommend the latter. Not only does walking through the field afford close-up views of the Instagram-worthy setting, but it means you’ll have a chance to pick some flowers, which is permitted.
So, what do you think? Are you ready to stop and smell the…wildflowers? We thought so! For more info on this flower infused adventure, check out the Ridgeland Wildflower Field Facebook page.
