Weeds make great supplies for autumn bouquets
Pop, stick, or glide – this is the time of year when many seeds are on the move.
Join Naturalist Diane Valen for a discovery hike around Beartown Lakes to investigate remarkable seed dispersal adaptations and explore some historic plant uses during harvest season.
Seed Safari & Weed Bouquet will take place on Sunday, November 4, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at Beartown Lakes Reservation, North Point, 18870 Quinn Road in Auburn/Bainbridge Twps.
Hikers can also look forward to finishing their exploratory program back at the shelter for a make-‘n’-take recycled art project, utilizing spent flowers and seed pods (collected by organizers along local roadsides, not in the parks) to create a weed bouquet to be used as a desk or table decoration.
“No two projects will be exactly alike,” Diane said, “and based on the success we had with this project at the Party in the Pit at Best Sand, I can attest that every one will be attractive.”
Registration is required for this all-ages program, which will be partially wheelchair/stroller accessible, or call 440-286-9516 for more info.
Geauga Park District is online, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
