Plants that live their lives rooted to a single spot must develop a broad range of defenses to survive. These defenses can be toxic to various insects and animals, including humans. Yet these plants have also provided the source for 70% to 80% of health-aiding medicines. This tour will explore the many examples of plants in Balboa Park 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 first Saturday of each month. Led by park volunteer and horticultural enthusiast Bill Edwards, the free tours leave from the Visitors Center at 10 a.m. unless otherwise indicated. Walks last 90 minutes 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.

flute, violin, cello, double bass, piano, harp, featured artist, featured composer music by Turina, Higdon, Alter, del Aquila, and Andrés Martín inspired by water, color, and the world beyond "Submerged" invites audiences to immerse themselves in a wide spectrum of tone colors and textures. Pieces include Turina’s shimmering "Ciclo Plateresco," Jennifer Higdon’s mesmerizing "Pale Yellow," Aaron Alter’s contemplative "Introspective Blues #1," Andrés Martín’s powerful "Synchronicity". The title piece, Miguel del Águila’s "Submerged" (for flute, cello, and harp), is inspired by Alfonsina Storni's poetry, and it celebrates her life, evoking the quiet, creative depths where artists retreat to dream, reflect, and begin anew. The program culminates in a powerful finale: the unveiling of Hugo Crosthwaite’s 2025 Camarada art commission, inspired by Andrés Martín’s "Tango Bajo el Agua," which will be performed alongside the artwork. This deeply personal piece explores the dual nature of water as both life-giving and potentially destructive. Martín invites us to consider a striking metaphor: if we can learn to tango underwater, we can find beauty even in the most unlikely or challenging places.
