Medicinal Plants of Spring

Where

Powhatan State Park, 4616 Powhatan State Park Rd., Powhatan, VA 23139.
Playground Parking

When

April 25, 2025. 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

You're invited on a guided evening hike with an interpretive ranger to learn about the medicinal plants of central Virginia. Guests will learn how to identify some of the common medicinal plants in our region and discuss the cultural and historical uses of native plants within the park.

With greater knowledge of the healing properties of these native plants, we can develop a greater appreciation for these natural resources and hopefully develop deeper relationships with the plants that surround us every day.

Register here to let us know you're coming. We will contact you if the program is cancelled due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
