LEARN ABOUT HERBS
How to Safely ID Plants
Learn about the medicinal and edible weeds of Santa Barbara, move your body, breathe, and reconnect with nature. Come explore the creeks & hillsides of Santa Barbara and enjoy the bounty of herbs along its trails.
During these hikes, you will learn more about the folk, magical, medicinal, and culinary uses of herbs, trees, and shrubs that grow in our own backyard. Safe plant ID and ethical wild crafting will be taught, along with easy to make herbal remedies for everyday ailments.
Herb walks are held on the 1st Saturday of each month, at local trails or the Santa Barbara Botanical Gardens.
