About the Event
Spring walks can stir gratitude and joy. Plant beings are returning to the above-ground world, and we are waking up to their fresh energy and cycle of growth. Greet old plant friends or meet them for the first time. Start a journal to track their seasonal progression and your experiences. Learn about herbs like violet, garlic mustard, nettle, and dock. Taste a yummy wild snack. We may even find mushrooms to forage!
