Take a walk with us!

Local Leaf founders Eric and Stacy met as environmental educators and are dedicated to making education a focus at Local Leaf. Join us for one of our plant walks to learn more about your local environment and connect directly with the natural world through wild foods. Join one of our seasonal classes run at Earth Native Wilderness School (ENWS) in Bastrop or the LBJ Wildflower Center in Austin. Other classes we run at various botanical gardens may be added when available. Classes can be booked directly at their websites for the below dates. This list will be updated as classes are added.
