Plant recognition walk
Urban Plant Recognition Walk
How many plants do you walk past every day without really noticing them?
Join me, Ketty, for an accessible plant recognition walk through urban areas in Dominica. Together, we’ll slow down, observe the plants growing around us and learn more about their names, characteristics, traditional uses and place in Caribbean life.
You don’t need to travel deep into the forest to reconnect with nature. Plants are everywhere — along roadsides, around homes, in gardens and in the places we pass through every day.
What to Expect
- Learn to recognize common plants growing in urban and residential areas.
- Discover traditional, culinary and cultural uses of selected plants.
- Develop your observation skills and learn how to identify key plant characteristics.
- Explore the relationship between plants, food, wellness and Caribbean traditions.
- Enjoy a relaxed and educational walk that does not require difficult hiking.
