Holiday Nature Walk + Wild Wreath Crafting Party

Explore and celebrate nature and our local native plants in winter time, with a nature walk, foraging, crafting, and cider.

**I will email you the exact location directly before the event. Please do not use the location on this event page and instead refer to the email.**

Let's explore and celebrate nature and our local plants in winter time. We'll decorate a wreath for you to take home, primarily using foraged invasive plants, and learn about the nature origins of many of our modern holiday traditions

That's because nature and community are the original reasons for the season!

Some plant supplies will be both foraged from the wild and some brought from my home grown supply. Crafting supplies/tools and other decorations included.

Bring a reusable mug for homemade cider, and any treats you want to share. I'm bringing persimmon cookies baked from my own persimmon tree harvest. Compostable cups will also be available for cider.

+What to expect/ what's included:

• *Wreath making
• *Wild mistletoe gathering
• *Toyon (California holly) cider stewing
• *Pinecone decoration painting
