Mountain Laurel Blooming Now In The Charlestown Moraine Preserve

/ , 0 Comments

Mountain laurel is in peak bloom right now in Charlestown. The native evergreen shrubs feature clusters of delicate, saucer-shaped flowers that range from deep pink to pure white.

The Moraine Preserve features hiking trails through the Mountain laurel, bringing the blossoms up close. It is an absolutely gorgeous experience just off Route 1. It is at its peak this week, so don’t wait, but pick a time of day when you can tolerate the heat.

  • See our Open Space Guide for directions in getting there and more information about the Moraine Preserve.
