Lead Member for Parks, Councillor Eric Ley, said: "Wild flowers are part of the North Devon landscape. Not only do they make the area look attractive, but they also support a huge variety of wildlife.
"I encourage local residents and holiday makers to come along on Saturday to find out more about the wildflowers in the area and have some fun as well."
This event is one of many organised as part of the North Devon Festival which runs throughout June. This year is also the International Year of Biodiversity which celebrates all living things in the environment.
