DESCRIPTION:PLANT FAMILIES OF CALIFORNIA: A MEDICINAL PERSPECTIVE\n\nLearning to 
 recognize plants by their family characteristics is a great way to begin 
 making sense of the “wall of green” you might be accustomed to seeing 
 on your hikes in the outdoors. Like members of your own immediate family, 
 closely related plants generally share similar physical features. In 
 addition, these plants often share similar chemical traits and thus related 
 medicinal attributes as well. For these reasons it is a worthwhile endeavor 
 to devote time to learning about such plant groupings. The first part of 
 the day will consist of a lecture/slideshow highlighting the basic 
 taxonomic and chemical characteristics of selected medicinal plant 
 families. Later in the day we will put our identification skills to the 
 test during afternoon field outings to nearby parks and gardens. 
 Edible/medicinal uses, harvesting ethics, at-risk plants, preparation 
 methods, and botanical safety issues are a few of the topics which will be 
 addressed on our walks together. Hands-on activities will include: 
 microscope sessions, sensory learning: smelling/tasting, as well as 
 interactive tips on how to successfully identify plants using regional 
 plant floras.\n\n\nDates/Time: (10am-5pm)\n\nSession I: July 17\nSession
