About this Event
Join local herbalist Meghan Henshaw at the Lloyd Library to learn more about notable plant books that will enrich your knowledge of herbal medicine. She'll be discussing books about a wide variety of topics such as herbal medicine making, plant identification, historically significant, pregnancy and children, medicinal plant cultivation, Indigenous authors, African-American herbalism, and more. Attendees will have an opportunity to look at many of the books in person and admire the beauty and usefulness of recently published gems.
Meghan Henshaw has spent many years studying the plethora of ways in which medicinal plants are woven into the fabric of everyday life. This has led her all over the United States and abroad to Morocco, England, Mexico, and Italy where she has worn many hats as a field researcher, wildcrafter, herbalist, and educator. She is passionate about herbalism being accessible to all and is inspired by the plethora of radical projects and people actively working to decolonize herbalism (and the world) in boldly creative and joyful ways. She is especially interested in social equity and sustainability in the herbal supply chain and endangered medicinal plants found in the Midwest region. Visit ocotilloherbals.com to learn more.
