New to the Santa Barbara Area? Want to learn the plants that you hike by every day?
Join local herbalist & nutritionist Emily Sanders for a 6 week outdoor course on Introductory Plant Identification & Ecosystems Tour of Santa Barbara.
February 17 – March 24
Wednesdays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm
During this class you will learn the basics of leaf, flower, and tree identification, as well as the 10 most common edible and poisonous plant families in the area. Learn over 60 common local plants, how to detect what general plant ecosystem you are in, and what medicinal herbs grow in each one of them. Our last class we will visit a local farm or nursery to learn the basics of growing & harvesting herbs, so you can start your own herbal garden in your backyard!
This is a 100% outdoor class, with light hiking of up to 2 to 3 miles per class. Each class will meet at a different location each week. Schedule, locations and driving directions will be emailed out the week before class starts.
Even though this is an outdoor class, everyone will be wearing face masks, and social distancing will be practiced. We will also be promoting hand washing or sanitizing before and after our walks, to ensure that we keep everyone healthy in our group.

* Leaf ID & Chaparral Plants.

* Flower ID & Coastal Sage Scrub Plants.
* Poisonous Plant Identification & Riparian Plants.
* Edible Plant Identification, Grassland & Coastal Bluff Plants
