Desert Plant Walk: Medicinal Plants of the McDowell Sonoran

Join Desert Moon Botanicals for a guided desert plant walk that takes place within the McDowell Sonoran Preserve and focuses on medicinal plants native to the Sonoran Desert as they appear in a protected upland environment. The preserve offers an opportunity to observe desert species growing in relationship to intact habitat, elevation changes, and seasonal conditions

This outdoor walk is designed for those interested in learning how desert plants are identified and worked with in herbal practice. We will observe plants in their growing environment and discuss how they have traditionally been used for food, medicine, and daily living.

Some plants discussed may also appear on other Desert Plant Walks throughout the season. Seeing the same species in different locations supports stronger recognition and practical plant knowledge.

This is an educational walk. No harvesting will take place.

Location: Lost Dog Trailhead, Scottsdale, AZ

Cost: Early Bird $35 · Regular $45

Advance registration is required. Space is limited.
