Hamlin Park Plant Walk (July 11th)
No matter where you live in WNY, you pass nutritious edible and medicinal plants along every sidewalk and in every lawn. This leisurely walk is for folks who want to feel acquainted with common edible + medicinal plants in our neighborhoods and backyards. (No prior experience required.)
You’ll leave feeling comfortable identifying and using a range of common plants. You’ll also know whether there are poisonous look-alikes to watch out for in our region. We’ll discuss safety considerations when harvesting plants in suburban, urban, and rural areas, such as pesticide application and lead in soils near older buildings. Sustainable harvesting considerations will also be addressed.
July 11th, 6:30pm-8:30pm
Hamlin Park, East Aurora (corner of Prospect and South Grove Streets)
Investment: $22 for adults. Your kids come free!
We’ll meet near the Hamlin Park stage and stroll from there—look for my wide-brimmed straw hat! Bring a notebook if desired. Taking photos is welcome; this might be helpful for remembering plants we discuss.

RAIN DATE: July 18th, 6:30pm—8:30pm. I will aim to send registrants an email by 10am the morning of the walk if we’re bumping our walk to the rain date.
