Course Description: This introductory course on plant medicine includes brief historical glimpses and offers a unique perspective into herbal medicine gardens and wild foraging.

​

In this class, young herbalists will explore the fun that is involved in becoming familiar with beneficial plants by studying and drawing plant specimens and harvesting useful parts for creating natural products to take home.

​

Each class uses new herbal and wild plants for students to learn from as we become familiar with methods for preserving and using plant parts such as roots, leaves, and flowers.

​

     Students will learn how to forage and create plant-based medicine by exploring different methods and techniques for making infused oils and tinctures, body lotions, fire-cider tonics, and Elderberry syrups.

 

This workshop introduces a variety of plants that have beneficial properties.

Students will learn to identify them and practice foraging for them.

During each class, new plant samples will be introduced along with information sheets and recipes.

If you have a student who enjoys nature and is interested in learning what plants are safe to forage, eat, and make medicines with, then this class is a must.
