Pedals & Petals
Come celebrate the summer solstice with a beautiful bike ride along the heritage trail while we learn about and collect Elderflower together. You will learn about elder folklore, about the flowers’ medicinal properties and energetics, and elder’s ecological connections.
Day/Time: Wednesday, June 25th from 6 to 8:30 pm.
What to Expect
We will discuss ethical wildcrafting practices, proper plant identification, harvesting, and processing techniques of the flowers before venturing out to harvest along the Heritage Trail.
Once our flowers have been collected, we will head back to Heritage Pond to make an Elderflower Cordial for each participant to take home! Instructions on straining and usage recommendations will be provided. There will also be a premade (non alcoholic) cordial and Elderflower tea for everyone to try and enjoy together while we prepare our concoction.
This event is brought to you in partnership with Dubuque County Conservation.
NOTE: Participants must bring their own bike and helmet and are encouraged to bring their own scissors or small clippers. All other supplies will be provided.
