Lock Ridge Park Bursting With Beautiful Bluebells

The fact that it happens every year in no way takes away one iota of the wonder and amazement at the sea of bluebells every April in Lock Ridge Park in Alburtis.

"The bluebells have been there since the late 1960s and were intially just in the locust tree patch," says Kevin Shoemaker, president of the Alburtis Lockridge Historical Society.

"As a young boy, I knew the family—the Matz family—that lived on the property where the bluebells are. I remember them very well, but it was a much smaller patch. Every year they grow larger and larger!! I enjoy going down every year to see how far they have extended," he said.

And, as far as he knows, the patch of grape hyacinth occurred naturally. Nobody planted them. Well, no human, anyway.

Enjoy!
