The winter months invite us to slow down and seek out cozy times; warming teas, soups, and nutrient-loaded foods to help us get through the coldest days. Food plants provide us with so much: spices, food, scent, nutrition, and comfort. Discover how to harness the power of citrus, figs, olives, tea, and herbs to create your own kind of cozy. This program is open to all ages. Matthaei Botanical Gardens is hosting free guided nature walks on select Wednesdays and Sundays. These walks are FREE, no registration is required. Wonder Walks are designed for all ages to inspire curiosity and learning from each other through activities that model curiosity and honor nature. If we have a sizeable mixed-age group, we may separate into two sets to offer the same content at different levels of engagement. Wednesday walks begin at 5:30 pm. Sunday walks begin at 1:00 pm. We recommend gathering inside the lobby of Matthaei Botanical Gardens about 10 minutes before the start. https://mbgna.umich.edu/wonder-walks Email me at apontean@umich.edu or text me at 732-673-8513 with a photo/description of what you did to get credit!
