Plant Talk at Allan Brooks Nature Centre 26th of May


Hi everyone.
Spring is in the air!
Allan Brooks nature centre is open again for the season and I will be doing a talk there on Saturday May 26th about plants and their uses. Time: 10 am to noon. The cost will be $7/person.
For those of you who came out last year, this talk will be similar in format but will cover some plants that were not in bloom last fall. You will get to identify the plants and learn of their uses for food and medicine. Some plants you will get to sample. I don't know about you, but I always find it so exciting to learn that a plant that I see all the time can be used for food! The talk will consist of a short walk (suitable for people with disabilities) and a presentation around the benches outside the centre. Wear clothes for the weather, it can get quite windy up there on the hill:)
Looking forward to seeing you all.
