Learn to identify healing plants in our area. Medicinal plants are everywhere - in our backyards, along the streets we walk, and in open spaces all around us. We will look at plants ranging from the familiar: dandelion and plantain, to the less well known: motherwort, burdock, and ground ivy. You will learn which parts of the plants are used medicinally and how they nourish us and support health.

We will be exploring our plant allies along the Minuteman Bike Path in Arlington. Please meet at the entrance of the Thorndike Field Dog Park, 99 Margaret St, Arlington 02474. Please wear appropriate clothing.
