Join local Herbalist and Acupuncture Physician Bob Linde for an indoor/outdoor talk on the common understanding of food/nature/medicine that mixes bioregional plants with traditional knowledge. After a brief lecture, we will enjoy a short stroll to discover what plants already exist in the Bayfront Gardens, the brave will engage their senses, smelling and tasting various plants along with great stories.

Participants will meet in the Perret Performance Studio for a brief introduction and move out into the grounds and gardens for the Herb Walk.
