Did you know that yucca was planted in cemeteries to ward off unwelcome spirits? Have you ever tried to bolster your luck with a yew spring? Do you keep holly in your house to ward off “malevolent fairies”? Plants of all sorts have been used for millennia to protect us from harm, both seen and unseen. Many of those plants are right here at SGC (And often, in your own back yard). Join your favorite curator for a walk through the grounds as we go over a few of those old superstitions that have been passed down through time.
Registration is required and is currently open. Dress for the weather. The walk will last approximately 60 minutes. Your $5 donation will go to the Heritage Foundation to further efforts in education, preservation, and community outreach.
