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.
