Join us at Panacea Gardens on Friday, July 28 for our very first official plant walk.

The Summer Plant Walk is a seasonal gathering exploring the plants that dwell naturally along our forest path.

Gather with Graham, Patrick, and a small group of folks to learn about the microclimates of our forest nooks, the plants that thrive here, and their significance in our ecology and in our lives. This month you can expect to encounter plants including wild ginger, spicebush, sassafras, skullcap, hemlock, and more. We’ll also likely happen upon at least the remnants of a reishi mushroom or two. We’ll start with some herbal tea and then cover some basics of what it means to tend the forest, the signficance of supporting native habitats and plants, and what it can look like for humans to engage thoughtfully with these plants. We’ll take a slow walk into the forest to connect with the plants in their place and learn from them as we do from each other.

The seasonal plant walks might fit your idea of a plant walk — walking around and connecting with plants. It’s our hope that these walks in particular will be an opportunity for folks to get to know the plants along central paths at Panacea Gardens as the rhythms of each season change.

The cost for this event is $45. Further details coming soon.
