Please join me for a Natural History Walk at Taft Nature Preserve on Saturday, March 11, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., meeting at 12:45 p.m. We will explore trails through the wild parts of the property, identify and discuss native plants, and observe birds and animal tracks in the context of local ecology. This event is a perfect fit with my personal mission to open a space for people to connect with the natural world, starting with the plant community. And Taft Gardens and Nature Preserve is an amazing place! In fact, it was recently featured in an L. A. Times article on “The 16 Most Beautiful and Inviting Public Gardens in Southern California.”

The $35 cost includes a $10 donation to benefit the CEF, the non-profit steward of Taft Gardens & Nature Preserve. The donation portion of the fee is tax-deductible. Space is limited so please register today by email to taftgardensvisitors@gmail.com.

I will have my mobile bookshop onsite after the walk, including my new book, Medicinal Herbs of California, and Milt McAuley’s classic Wildflowers of the Santa Monica Mountains which features every plant we will see.

Please plan on leaving dogs and cigarettes at home. Thanks!
