Caroline Dean Wildflower Garden

The Caroline Dean Wildflower Trail (CDWT) started as a walking path in 2008 with access from Park Road through the Salem Shotwell Covered Bridge. The figure 8 shaped trail was constructed to honor Ms. Caroline Dean, an Opelika resident.

The purpose of the garden is to display plants that represent the area and help visitors identify plants that they might include in their own personal gardens. The trail is a natural, relaxing setting where individuals can sit, read, and just be in nature.
