This guided plant walk takes place at Veterans Oasis Park and focuses on medicinal plants that grow in desert wetland and wash environments. These water-influenced areas support plant species that differ from upland desert habitats, offering a distinct learning context within the Sonoran Desert.
We’ll move slowly through the landscape, observing plants where they grow and how they respond to the land, the season, and the conditions around them. The walk emphasizes plant identification, along with how these plants are used in herbal medicine and traditionally as food.
Some plants discussed may also appear on other plant walks throughout the season. Seeing the same species in different locations supports practical plant knowledge over time.
Terrain includes uneven dirt paths and natural surfaces. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are recommended.
This is an educational walk. No harvesting will take place.
Advance registration is required. No walk-ups. Exact meetup details are emailed after registration.
