Los Angeles
Sunset Foraging Hike
The Scented Trail of Elysian Park
Engage your senses and rediscover the natural world on a gentle 1.5-mile sunset walk through Elysian Park, with sweeping views of downtown Los Angeles. This multisensory experience invites you to connect more deeply with plants. We'll connect not just by sight, but through smell, taste, and reflection. We’ll explore how scent links us to memory, making plant identification more intuitive and lasting. Light foraging will engage our taste buds, while nature journaling will help cement our learning. Together, we’ll reflect on why plants have scent at all and what their presence means in our daily lives.
