Medicinal Plant Walk at Danehy Park
Join herbalist Mo Katz-Christy for a walk through Danehy Park to identify plants and their medicinal uses! We will explore weeds and cultivated plants, trees and shrubs, and have lots of time for questions and conversation. Bring a notebook if you like, and meet us at the parking lot on Sherman Street (if you’re late you should be able to find us – we won’t move too far too fast!).
