About This Class
​
Herald in the change of seasons a week after the equinox, with an early spring botany and herb walk! Given the time of year, most plants will still not have emerged from dormancy, so we'll spend a lot of time with our woody plant friends - trees and shrubs - studying bark, twigs and buds, as well as the earliest emergent spring plants. Our primary focus will be honing our botanical skills, but we'll also discuss the medicinal properties of the plants we encounter.
We'll gather at ArborVitae but soon thereafter walk down the road to the nearby Nyquist-Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary, and explore the trails through the lovely woods and wetlands there. The majority of the class will be outside, so come ready for any weather, rain or shine! (We'll cancel only if there is severe or dangerous weather.)
Tiered Investment​​​​
Pay It Forward Admission: $60
This tier is at the market rate and reflects the true cost of the service, labor, and expertise of producing the workshop. This price point allows us to generate a profit for the teacher and the school. We encourage those with access to wealth to opt for this tier as it enables ArborVitae to offer more tickets at an accessible price.
