Why we picked this
A Tuesday evening plant walk through Washington Park with an actual herbalist — you'll leave knowing which weeds are edible and why, which is more useful than it sounds.
Clinical herbalist Liz Faermark of Talk Wild Herbs leads this evening plant walk through the Big Garden at Washington Park. The session covers edible and medicinal weeds growing in Denver — where they appear, what conditions they like, their nutritional and medicinal properties, and how to harvest them responsibly. Wildcrafting ethics are part of the conversation.
No prior plant knowledge required. The walk moves at a gentle pace and runs about 90 minutes. Denver Urban Gardens organizes on a pay-what-you-can model — no one is turned away for lack of funds.
