Description:

For foragers and herbalists alike, the first blush of spring is one of the most exciting times to browse field and forest for wild foods and medicines. Come take a tour of the vibrant flavours of our bioregion!

In the first part of this workshop, we’ll get out on the land and explore field identification, ecology and medicinal and edible properties of local plants, with an emphasis on abundant introduced species like nettle, plantain, dandelion and cleavers. You’ll never see these “weeds” the same way again.

In the second part of the workshop, we’ll gather around the fire and learn to prepare culinary and medicinal concoctions from our harvest.

Bioregional herbalism is the practice of tapping into the medicine of locally abundant plants, connecting the dots between herbal medicine, ecology, and relationship to place. This workshop offers an introduction to plant medicine from a framework grounded in reciprocity, right relationship, ethical harvesting, and walking gently on the land.
