Spring is technically not arriving in Southwest Georgia until March 20 – but we know the signs of spring when we see them: The birds are chirping louder; temperatures are generally warmer (particularly this week); colors are definitely brighter. Spring blooms, in turn, draw a variety of pollinators, from bees to butterflies.

“I know it is spring when I see the blossom of flowers at home and on the Perry Wellness Center campus,” PWC founder and CEO Stuart Perry explains. “I don’t recall the full chronology of spring, but I know the signs.”

The photo here captures the marvel of nature with some of spring’s first signs on campus – a hungry bee and a generous daffodil.
