Prairie Walk 2024

August 3 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am

Join a special Master Naturalist tour of our restored prairie!

Cathy Crohgan and Kathy Robbins will lead a Prairie Walk on August 3 at 10:30 am. This tour is a fun opportunity to check out several acres of restored prairie (installed over 20 years ago) without leaving the cities.

As longtime Gibbs Farm volunteers Cathy and Kathy keep track of What’s Blooming in the Prairie, and will be able to help you appreciate the incredible biodiversity of this important Minnesota biome. The tour will touch on edible and medicinal plants and visitors will be able to see the effects of regular controlled burns as well as the impact the heavy rainfall has had on the plants. This tour is designed for adults and kids ages 12+ but all are welcome!

 

 

Gibbs Farm is open to the public on Saturdays this summer from 10-4. The prairie walk is included in regular Saturday admission price. To reserve your tour spot, pre-pay admission online, or call the Gibbs Farm Office at 651-646-8629. Walk-ins are also welcome. After the prairie walk, stick around to take a history tour (offered on the hour) or enjoy the prairie on your own, we suggest bringing a camera, snack or picnic!

Members of Ramsey County Historical Society should pick the RCHS Member ticket option to reserve a spot at no cost.
