Plants have a broad range of defenses that enable them to survive being attacked by other life forms. Some of these defenses can be toxic to various animals, including humans. Conversely, plants have also served as the basis of 70%-80% of beneficial pharmaceuticals. This tour highlights Balboa Park’s many examples of plants to treat with caution. Forever Balboa Park offers thematic park tours that focus on the park’s unique biodiversity and highlight the park’s horticultural wonders on the second Saturday of each month. Led by park volunteer and horticultural enthusiast Bill Edwards, the free tours leave from the Visitors Center at 10:00 a.m. unless otherwise indicated. Walks last 1.5 to 2 hours and are typically less than 1 mile on level terrain. It is advised that potential attendees contact the Balboa Park Visitors Center prior to the scheduled walk to determine if there are any last-minute changes or cancellations to the tours.
