When: Friday, March 21, 2014 1pm - ??? (the length of time will be determined by how far we all wish to go!) Rain date will be Saturday, March 22, same time.
Where: Boyce-Mayview Park (meet at the trailhead parking next to Ardolino's Pizza on Boyce Road; 1141 Boyce Road for you GPS'ers)
How: with boots that can withstand mud, puddles, and potentially slippery areas! It is also a good idea to bring a trekking pole for good balance, or we can find a sturdy branch along the way! And bring a camera! (Journals are optional!)
Price: Sliding scale of $0-5 for this first class! I would never turn anyone down because of money! I would be more disappointed if you didn't come at all-- Please do not miss this walk if you're interested!!
What better way to ring in the Spring Equinox than to head out into the forests and fields! After a winter like the one we've just had, it's not likely that things will be bursting through to begin growing just yet, but the Lotus sure is! (And if we're lucky, we'll spot some skunk cabbage, always the first to appear, and it looks REALLY NEAT!) There will still be plenty to identify, and if you really wish to identify a plant, there is no greater way than to watch it from its very first stirrings. I will be pointing out a lot of places where the plants WILL be in the future.
A camera was my most useful tool (and still is!) for plant ID'ing. It allows us to track the plant's life cycle, and it helps us to remember where it is and what it looks like throughout the year.
Bring a friend! Or bring the family! And please message me on here or e-mail me at dancinglotusherbals@gmail.com to let me know if you plan to come along! I'd just like a general idea of how many to expect. Thanks!! Spring is just around the corner now!!!!
