Description
Join us for a guided walk focused on the medicinal plants and trees that thrive in our local habitats. As we explore the landscape together, we’ll learn to identify a variety of species and uncover the medicinal traditions and folklore woven into their histories. Each stop along the way offers a chance to understand how these plants have been used for generations and what they have to teach us today. This gentle, immersive outing invites you to slow down, observe, and deepen your relationship with the natural world.
Registration is required and opens one week in advance!
