Wild Edible Plant and Herbalism Weekend

Learn about our local wild edible plants on Saturday, July 18th and herbalism on Sunday, July 19th (or join us for the whole weekend - our Foraging Intensive). For the Saturday portion, you’ll learn to identify roughly three dozen wild plants. Learn which ones are good to eat, how they can be used, and which plants to avoid. You’ll even receive a foraging booklet that we produce for each class, yours as a take-home reminder of all the plants you experienced in your course. And that’s just the one-day Summer Wild Edible Plant class - there’s more.
Sunday's Advanced Herbalism class will take you through the complex and fascinating world of wild plants and the herbal medicines they provide. This class is about history and science, taking your understanding of wild plant medicine to a deeper level. In our unique, hands-on approach, we will travel the landscape identifying medicinal plants, harvesting plant materials and creating medicines the very same day. In this advanced class, you will learn more complex facets of wild herbalism and discover easy ways that you can integrate it into your daily life. We will also prepare more complex medicines from wild ingredients.
This class will include: wild plants you can take for daily and seasonal health support; growing and propagating your own herbs (wild and cultivated species); how to combine wild herbs for synergistic effects; making herbal capsules; creating alcohol-free tinctures; “pro tips” for drying and processing your wild plant ingredients; and much more.
You'll go home with a newfound appreciation for the plants that you have all around you, a very detailed wild plant medicine book that is only available through this class, and a wild medicine "first aid kit".
For our Foraging Immersion Weekend, you'll enjoy both days of class, camp onsite Saturday night, and help us prepare a dinner which includes some wild foods that we will collect that afternoon. Join us for Saturday, or Sunday, or both!
