Plant Walk & Yucca Cordage

Join SEE’s Garden Manager, Tayler Jones, in a plant walk at The Shire! You’ll learn basic botany terms to aid in identifying native edible and medicinal plants. Enjoy a nature bathing inspired tea ceremony with an approach to wild tending with some of the plants foraged on our walk. You’ll gain confidence in foraging and get to process yucca fibers to craft your own cordage!

Some plants we’ll get to know:

• Scrub Oak
• Yucca
• Purslane
• Lamb’s Quarter
• Raspberry
• Gooseberry
• Ponderosa Pine
• Juniper
