ACES is a fun, educational + recreational child care program for school age children aligning with MAPS elementary schools.
MAPS Preschool - All of our high quality programming options offer age appropriate learning for children ages 3–5 years
Late Spring and Early Summer offer so many plants that can be foraged and harvested for both food and medicine. This walk will be interactive as we explore the plants to get to know them better through sight, touch, smell and/or taste. You will leave knowing identification, best harvesting practices/timing, as well as how to work with the plant and its benefits!
Just a few of the plants we might expect to find along this walk would be: Wood Nettle, Ground Ivy, Garlic Mustard, Burdock, Virginia Waterleaf, Cleavers, and more!Beginners and knowledgeable alike are welcome! Led by Kara - a Practicing Herbalist and an Integrative Nutritionist, owner of Thistle Patch Wellness.
