An introduction to foraging and making your own medicine with wild plants.

Workshop includes:

• Hand-out
• Plant Walk on Delena’s property: identifying wild plants
• Instruction and demonstrations
• What is plant medicine and how is it different from mainstream medicine?
• Safety foraging tips
• Preparing basic medicines: teas (infusions/decoctions), tinctures, extracts, infused oils, compresses and poultices

Please dress for the weather. In case of heavy rain and/or thunderstorms, we will have a Plant Talk (instead of a Plant Walk) indoors, and I will harvest fresh plants beforehand for medicine-making.
