Paid reservations required by Thursday, June 3, 2021.
Enrollment limited to 15.

Learn about some wild plants that grow in your backyard, some that don’t, some that are edible and beneficial, and one or more of the invasives. This will be more of a leisurely stroll than a hike.

Nancy is a Chautauqua Master Gardener of Cornell Cooperative Extension.
