Get off the screen and into the field. Our Herb ID Field Trip takes you out into nature to learn how to identify local and regional medicinal plants in their natural habitat — the way herbalists have learned for thousands of years before books and the internet existed.

When: Last Sunday of every month, 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM.

There is no substitute for seeing, touching, smelling, and tasting a plant in its natural environment. This is where real herbal knowledge begins. You'll learn to identify plants by their leaf shape, stem structure, smell, and habitat — skills that will serve you for a lifetime.

Real plants. Real nature. Real education. No screen required.

Wear comfortable shoes. Bring a notebook. Space is very limited — book in advance. Location details sent after registration.

Walking through the woods with someone who actually knows the plants beats any book or app. I finally can tell yarrow from its lookalikes, and the instructor kept it hands-on the whole time instead of lecturing. Three hours flew by.

Ryan Q. ★★★★★

I've taken a few plant classes online, but walking a trail with someone pointing out actual medicinal plants is a whole different thing. We ID'd maybe a dozen species in two hours, and I finally understand how to tell the lookalikes apart. Best way to learn this stuff, hands down.

Finally getting out of the house and into the woods. Seeing the plants in their actual habitat made every identifier stick far better than any app could. I left able to recognize the medicinals growing around my own neighborhood.
