- **Event Description**: This guided plant walk takes place along the waterways of the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch and focuses on medicinal plants that grow in the wetter corridors of the Sonoran Desert. Riparian areas support a distinct group of plants adapted to seasonal flooding, groundwater access, and desert heat, offering a different learning context than upland desert environments.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.We’ll move slowly through the landscape, observing plants where they grow and how they respond to the land, the season, and the conditions around them. The walk emphasizes plant identification, along with how these plants are used in herbal medicine and traditionally as food.Some plants discussed may also appear on other plant walks throughout the season. Seeing the same species in different locations supports practical plant knowledge over time.Terrain includes uneven dirt paths and natural surfaces. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are recommended.This is an educational walk. No harvesting will take place.Advance registration is required. No walk-ups. Exact meetup details are emailed after registration.Details and registration are available at Desert Moon Botanicals: https://desertmoonbotanicals.com/plant-walk-riparian
