SESSION 1: Foraging Your Own Backyard
Getting started with foraging is as easy as walking out your door and noticing the plants all around you. Learn to safely identify and forage some of the most common plants in the region, including edible “weeds,” berries, roots and flowers. This workshop will cover safety, ethical harvesting, resources for proper identification, as well as foraging tools, tips and storage suggestions. You will also learn how to use the foraged plants to make common herbal preparations, such as infusions, decoctions, poultices and oils.
SESSION 2: Growing a Healing Herbal Garden
Each of us has the power to create and tend to our own herbal garden to support us on our individual healing journeys. Learn how to plan, grow and harvest your own herb garden, no matter your skill level or amount of space. This workshop will introduce you to the beauty and power of growing herbs to support healthy skin, soothe digestive upset, balance your nervous system, support better sleep, and ease aches and minor pain. You will learn about popular and easy to grow herbs from several healing traditions, including Wise Woman, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and Western herbalism.
