CAN YOU MEET THIS CHALLENGE ?
This is especially important for your children but also for you, Above the Briery will be at the market from 8
to 12 with local honey, various native plants, and a challenge. It is so easy to run into poison ivy, and not everyone is familiar with the look of the leaves and the vine. If you can identify the leaves and vine (or learn to identify them), you get a free honey stick to sweeten your day. Plants this week will include several native shrubs, four kinds of ferns, vines, milkweed plants, and more!
