Each month the plants change in our yards, gardens, and fields. This class is meant to help guide your excitement for learning about our native and non-native plants.
River banks and forest floors come to life with the traditional healing powers of medicinal plants. Whether this is through edible plants, healing roots, or the flowers of plants, each month's walk reveals the plant magic.
The walk is a gentle stroll with only a few hills and will last for approximately 90 minutes as we meander through the gardens and forks of the North and South Thornton Rivers.
After this class, you will have a better knowledge of:
- Identifying common plants and their look-alikes
- How to utilize these plants for wellness
- Feel more confident in using these plants in daily cooking or herbal remedies
- Ask questions about plants in your landscape
- Working ecosystems with all the plants and fungi friends
Find out how the "weeds" in our beautiful county and your yard can bring nourishment and healing through plant identifications and exploration of plant spirit and magical medicines.
Cameras and field notebooks are encouraged.
The walk is weather, rain or shine.
If it's extreme weather, we will let you know by 6 am that day.
Work trades are available for those who want to participate but are unable to due to financial concerns.
