Edible Wild Weeds

with Abby Artemisia

Sunday, April 6  |  10 am - 1 pm

BRN + BREG - Elective

Appalachia is a hotbed of biodiversity and our weeds are no different! Except weeds are the most sustainable to harvest! Abby will give you some basic introductory botany tips for identification, along with sustainable harvest and processing tips. This will demystify the often but unnecessary complications of learning Botany and even make it fun! Bring your field guides!

This program takes place in the classroom and outdoors. Please come prepared to walk on gentle, yet uneven terrain, and dress appropriately for the weather.

Abby Artemisia is a Botanist, Herbalist, Forager, and Founder of The WANDER School, a nonprofit making herbs and botanical education accessible, especially to underserved communities. She has a B.A. in Botany from Miami University and has been studying Herbalism for almost 30 years. Abby lives in Appalachian North Carolina, where she forages and wildcrafts her food and remedies and teaches WildCrafted Herb School, Foraging School, and the Botany Breakdown Virtual Course. She created the Wandering Wellness Clinic to provide accessible healthcare post-Hurricane Helene. You can find these and more at www.thewanderschool.com
