    Join us as we walk through the boardwalk, rediscovering wild, native, and medicinal plants. Through storytelling and hands-on sensory experiences—smelling, touching, and tasting—participants will deepen their connection to the plants around us.
    Participants will sample selected plants and take home a two-page illustrated mind map.
