Medicinal plant walk in Sharon Hills Preserve

Are you interested in medicinal properties of plants growing right here in the Manchester area?

Stroll with Amanda Klain, a native plant advocate and plant connoisseur, on Saturday, June 16th from 1 to 3 pm through Legacy Land Conservancy’s Sharon Hills Preserve to discover plants used as medicine, both historically and today. Learn to properly identify some of these “herbal allies,” hear a history of their use as medicine, and gain insight into why today’s trained herbalists prize certain species.

Expect to walk no more than two miles, with regular breaks for meeting and greeting our botanical companions. Please dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes, and bring a water bottle.

For more information or to register, email rsvp@legacylandconservancy.org or call 734-302-5263.

Sharon Hills Preserve is located off of Sharon Hollow Road between Walker and Washburn Roads. Look for the signs on the east side of the road and park in the grassy parking area just off Sharon Hollow Road.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
