Urban Herb Walk: ARCATA

Description

During this easy and fun Urban(ish) Herb Walk walk we will:

• Solve many little mysteries of who has been growing in your yard and garden beds!
• Meet common wild plants (native, naturalized, and invasive) that both pop up in disturbed areas and flourish in less touched places.
• Learn identification tips, and culinary & medicinal uses of the plants we visit with such as yellow dock, self heal, willow, dandelion (of course!), and even mugwort.
• Toast the season together with a celebratory pot of tea crafted with plants we’ll meet!

Upcoming Friday Herb Walk:

• 10/6/2023, 4-6pm: Eureka Greenspace Herb Walk at Cooper Gulch
