Plant Walk Series is starting next Wednesday

One of my very favorite things to do is wander around and look at plants and trees. I take my dog (or she takes me) and we wander the neighborhood watching what has changed since our last walk, what is starting to pop out of the soil, and what is blooming. I say Hi to the plants and sometimes hum them songs. I practice my identification skills and try to remember how they might be helpful in the future for me, my family and clients. I put a pin in my mental map to remember where they are in the world. This is one of my joy practices.

The information that I have gathered about local plants and trees comes from a breath of amazing local herbalists. 
Jessie Belden, Lise Wolff, LuAnn Raadt, Emily Pearson Ryan, Blue Hummingbird Woman and Matthew Wood to name a few. It also comes from my own experience of working with the plants. Learning about what is growing in my little patch of the world feels grounding and supportive.

I'd love to walk and chat with you on Wednesday, June 4th at 6:30pm. We will take a slow paced walk with lots of stops. We will talk about the plants that are currently thriving in that area. The location of the plant walk will be in South Minneapolis and shared a day or two before the class to ensure that there is plenty to talk about. Plan on being outside for the whole time and dress accordingly. You might want a notebook and pen. You are welcome to come to one, two or all three of the walks.

Hope to see you there,
Amy
