Private Property Plant ID Walk

July Plant ID Walks-Invite up to 8 people for your personal property wild plant ID Walk

I once had a teacher who said, "if you want to know your medicine, go out in your own backyard." I've seen this on more than one occasion and I'm amazed every time. 
This would be a good time to contact Mari if you would like a personal wild plant ID walk in mid-July to learn the wild plants that grow on your land and how to put them to practical use. 
In our area, (Woodland to Lake George) July 13-17 is typically prime time to ID as the plants will be in full bloom. During that week we will schedule appointments for private walks. Reserve your space asap as this is a first come first serve basis.

If you have a group of like-minded people who would like to learn with you from the garden to the end product, let's get together and build a workshop focused on your specific area of interest.
