OKT Earth Day Spring Tree Tour
Monday April 22, 6 – 7:30 p.m.
Garfield Park Pavilion, 334 Burton St. SE
Tree tour guide, Laura Casaletto will lead us through Garfield Park where we will munch leaves and nibble flowers together for Earth Day. The menu includes spruce tips, the nectar inside tulip tree flowers, black locust flowers, Japanese knotweed shoots, redbud blossoms and perhaps entire linden trees! We’ll certainly find something nice underfoot to add to your Mother’s Day breakfast in bed–and you’ll get a little booklet to help you recall what you learned.
This free tree tour is part of the food justice mission of OKT.
If it rains, we’ll meet under the pavilion anyway!
