And Nancy had treats too. Here she passed out some seeds from a local plant. She also carried spritz bottles with water. So you take those seeds, a little spritz of water, rubrubrub, and you can get some lather up like soap. These girls are all like Ewwww.
From Nancy the guide: “The plant that we washed our hands with is called Ceonothus. It’s sometimes referred to as Mountain Lilac or California Lilac. There are about 7 varieties that grow in our area. They bloom from March through April (give or take). The colors of the bloom range from a really beautiful, dark purple/blue to white.”
