Join the Botanical Hiker, Heather Houskeeper, for a gentle guided walk that utilizes aspects of forest bathing alongside education about edible & medicinal plants, as well as nature journaling. The intention of this program is to cultivate a relationship with the land via interaction/connection with the plants. The program closes with a shared tea.
Participants go home with their own nature journal to continue their observations in the natural world. Nature journals, colored pencils, and pencils are provided.
