Join us for a live walk through Central Park (weather permitting), as we meet some of the native plants that herbalists have traditionally used for food and medicine. 

We will discuss the apothecary botanicals that grow in the wilds of our urban parks and landscapes, spending time looking at the early seasonal changes, learning plant id and the medicinal benefits of our weedy friends.

We will meet on Central Park West near the B/C trains to 96th Street; exact information will be sent the day before the walk.
