Up on the Mountain    with Gradey Proctor
Saturday, September 4th, 9am-5pm
 
On this journey we’ll spend our time high on Mount Hood, where the trees give way to Valerian, Arnica, and False Hellebore. We’ll take in the mountain air and meet many new plants while we talk about ways of reclaiming our health. This will likely be your last chance to see so many flowers ’til next spring!
Carpool will leave from SE Portland.
