About the event
We’ll start where the trail begins, where Washington Avenue meets Columbus Boulevard. Then will proceed around the edges of the path working our way down the pier. In spring you can expect to see Redbud, cranesbill, geranium, mugwort, sweetbay magnolia, and with a little luck, maybe even a few June berries. We’ll talk about the edible and medicinal uses, as well as a little history, myth and lore about the plants found here
