Local author and herbalist Lanny Kaufer is pleased to announce that he is now in his 50th year of leading Herb Walks in Ojai, Santa Barbara, and the surrounding area. He is inviting the public to celebrate the anniversary with him at a free Garden Party in the Chumash Garden at the Ojai Valley Museum on Saturday, June 27, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. As a native plant consultant for the museum, he will lead a tour of the revamped garden, featuring new plants and updated signage linked to the museum website.
Kaufer is the author of Medicinal Herbs of California, a field guide published by Falcon Guides in 2021. He will have copies for sale and signing at the event. Herbal tea and light refreshments will be served.
