On Saturday and Sunday, October 22-23, we will offer a second Medicinal Plant Weekend with Dr. James Adams of USC School of Pharmacy, this one focused on the plants of the Fall season such as Yerba Santa, Hollyleaf Cherry, Valley Oak acorns, and California Buckwheat. On Saturday, we'll go on an ethnobotanical expedition to Rose Valley followed on Sunday by a medicinal plant walk and kitchen preparation session in Ojai.

Cluff Vista Park, the reforestation of the valley by the group he founded,
Ojai Trees, and many other landscape designs around the valley.
Please join me and special guests Jessica Thompson of
Green Goddess Gardens and Renee Roth of
RainScape Designs for a Drought Tolerant Native Plant Walk in his honor on Saturday, November 5, from 9 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Cluff Vista Park in downtown Ojai.

Hollister Family Meadow at Arroyo Hondo Preserve |

I'll be joining hiking instructor and writer James Wapotich on October 29 at Arroyo Hondo Preserve for the second of four Saturday classes in his Navigating Wilderness series. You must sign up for the whole course to attend my day. As fate would have it, two of the dates in the series coincide with events I'm leading in Ojai but I'm sharing the series with you anyway.
See the brochure here. Zoom in for readability. |
