Urban herb walk at Washington Park with Denver Urban Gardens
Join a guided evening walk through Washington Park exploring local herbs and edible plants with DUG educators. Open to all — a practical introduction to urban herbalism.
Why we picked this
A DUG-led evening walk through Washington Park's Big Garden learning to identify local herbs and edible plants — practical herbalism in a park most people walk through without knowing what's growing.
Denver Urban Gardens runs urban herbalism walks through Washington Park’s Big Garden — a space that holds far more edible and medicinal plants than most visitors realize. The guided walk teaches participants to identify local herbs, understand their uses, and recognize what’s growing in Denver’s parks and yards.
The session runs as an evening walk (6:00 PM) on June 30 and is open to all experience levels. Part of DUG’s Urban Herbalism series, which runs through summer at various Denver locations.
Washington Park’s Big Garden is a managed planting space that makes these walks especially rich — plants are labeled and intentionally selected, which provides a clear learning environment for herb identification.
