Spring has officially sprung at the Stamford Museum & Nature Center, where blooms, birdsong and barnyard personalities come alive. Among the season’s most endearing sights is Petunia, a 22-year-old Scottish Highland cow and longtime resident of the Nature Center’s Heckscher Farm. With her double coat, sweeping horns and fluttery eyelashes, Petunia embodies the timeless appeal of one of the world’s oldest heritage cattle breeds. Known for their gentle temperament and hardy spirit, Highland cows feel right at home in this pastoral setting. As the landscape greens, there’s no better time to wander the grounds and say hello to the season’s shaggiest ambassador.
