Weedy Plant Wander, August 21, 2025 6:00PM

Thurs., Aug. 21, 6 p.m.- 7:30 p.m.

Join community herbalist and permaculture garden designer Therese Robbins of Heart Beet Herbals on a plant tour of Mellon Park. We will meet and interact with some medicinal, edible, and native plants and discuss their medicinal, culinary, or horticultural uses. There will be many opportunities to ask questions. This class will take place outdoors and will include some walking. Please wear walking shoes and feel free to bring a water bottle, notepad, and weather protection. If the walk is to be rescheduled due to dangerous weather conditions, registrants will be contacted by 5 p.m. on the day before the walk.

Therese, or Trez, recently moved to Pittsburgh from Montana and has spent lots of time outdoors. With 7 years of experience as a Western Herbalist, sharing the medicinal uses of commonly stepped-over weeds and introducing folks to friendly plants is a passion of hers, and it can be seen in her enthusiasm in all her classes.
