Why do leaves change color? Wildlings will meet to see the colors we can see, and take in the special scents of the living urban forest ecosystem. During this walk, we will discuss what an urban tree canopy is, the dormancy process of plants, and spark ideas for painting our landscapes with diverse native deciduous trees for autumn color in our landscapes. Following this event, we will visit the Huntington Rose Garden to see what we can do to help "put our gardens to bed" after the leaves fall, and learn about our two native rose varieties we can consider planting in our gardens. This event is free and available to the public, but please register via our website so we will have sufficient materials prepared for participants.
All Wilding Romps are all-weather events. Please come prepared for rain/cool weather with appropriate shoes, rain jackets, an umbrella if needed, and towels and/or blanket following the walk in case of inclement weather.
