Medicinal Plant Walks
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.
Walks take place sprinkle or shine - if it is raining hard enough to require umbrellas, the walk will be canceled.
