Historically, some of our common weeds were used as natural remedies and have useful qualities. Participants will go on a “weed walk” around the historic village and recreation trail and learn historical tidbits and a wide range of uses (dyes, medicine, food, pollution abatement) of the common plants that we see every day. A fun class to connect with the ordinary plants in our lives, learn a bit of botany and begin a habit of close nature observation. We will also do a hands-on project related to the plants we observe on the museum grounds.        $12

For 6 to 12 year old
