Each month the plants change in our yards, gardens, and fields.
River banks and forests 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 will last for approximately 90 minutes as we meander through the gardens and forks of the North and South Thornton River.
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 then we will let you know by 6am that day.
