FULL MOON PLANT WALK
July 12, 2014 @ 6:45 pm - 8:00 pm
Join this cool evening walk with moonrise as backdrop. The University of Arizona Campus grounds are an Arboretum, full of native Sonoran Desert plants, and many other plants imported from similar climates. Take note of native food and medicinal plants, and what growth stage they are in. Collect a small sample of mesquite pods, if available, to taste-test. Watch the sun set in the west and the moon rise in the east as we cross campus toward it.
