There are 2 plant walks each month at different locations in the DMV.<\/p>
Most will take place in Washington DC and PG County on the weekends but some may take place a little further out if we find a sweet spot! I also do some evening walks when the sun is still out.<\/p>
During these walks I'll cover edible, medicinal and practical uses for the plants, trees and some <\/u>fungi. (Plants and Trees are my jam, I'm still learning the shrooms). We'll also discuss ecological benefits, ethical harvesting and proper identification.<\/p>
The walks last an average of 2 hours. They are slow, fun and family friendly although some children get a little restless after the first hour so kids are welcome but you know your kid(s) best.<\/p>
I often bring pre-cleaned or prepared samples to taste , we also harvest and eat fresh from the plant at times but this is 100% optional. Consume wild food at your own risk.<\/p>
After the walks I send supplemental material about the plants we encountered so that you can further your studies.<\/p>"},"borderRadius":{"id":101361976,"value":"#{text.border.radius}"},"textColor":{"id":101361977,"value":"#000000"},"backgroundColour":{"id":101361978,"value":"#0000"},"truncateHeight":{"id":101361979,"value":null},"padding":{"id":101361981,"value":"0"},"fullWidth":{"id":101361982,"value":"0"},"fullBackgroundColor":{"id":101361983,"value":"#{text.fullBackground.color}"},"published":{"id":101361984,"value":"1"},"conditions":{"id":101361985,"value":"[]"},"template":{"id":113099914,"value":"text"}}},{"id":4246468,"type":"textBlock","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":2,"items":[],"properties":{"html":{"id":101374715,"value":"
