Plant Identification Walks

Learn to recognize local medicinal plants and deepen your relationship with the land.

Plant Identification Walks are guided outdoor experiences where Candace introduces you to the plants growing around us — their names, characteristics, traditional uses, and the teachings they offer. These walks invite you to slow down, observe closely, and reconnect with the natural world.

These walks are educational, rooted in reciprocity and respect. They are not foraging trips; instead, they help you understand how to meet plants responsibly, ethically, and with curiosity.

What You'll Explore

  • Identifying local medicinal plants

  • Understanding plant energetics and seasonal cycles

  • Ethical and reciprocal harvesting principles

  • Folk and Indigenous teachings

Seasonal Availability

Plant Identification Walks are offered seasonally:

  • Spring – tender shoots, new growth, early medicines

  • Summer – full bloom, plant energetics, field identification

  • Fall – roots, seeds, late-season teachings

Walks are not available in winter due to plant dormancy.

If you'd like a spring, summer, or fall walk, you can request a date early, as these sessions fill quickly and are weather-dependent.
