About this Event
Join local herbalist Kyra Skaggs for a walk along the Wenatchee river to learn about some of the medicinal plants we have growing all around us. We will learn to identify some common medicinals, discuss various ways to prepare and use them, and even get to taste a few. Feel free to bring a notebook if you like to take notes.
Kyra is the owner and founder of Balsamroot Botanicals. She grew up exploring the wildlands of the Pacific Northwest and have always had a special love for plants. Following this passion for plants and the outdoors, she received a BA in Environmental Education from Western Washington University in 2016 and completed a clinical herbalism program with Wildroot Botanicals in 2020. She started Balsamroot Botanicals because she am passionate about using plant medicine to help others take ownership of their health and deepen their connection to the world around them.
The Sustainable Living & Farming Tour is an opportunity for people to learn more about living a simpler and more sustainable life by visiting examples and partaking in hands-on applications in the greater Leavenworth area. Over the course of one weekend, September 13th -15th, participants will choose between various workshop offerings and site visits that educate, inspire, and motivate a path toward sustainable living. Participants will form connections to local food, the surrounding environment, and the people who are 'walking the talk' of sustainability & stewardship. Visit www.wasteloop.org for more information.
