Art + The Forest Workshop: Edible and Medicinal Plant Walk

Would you like to know more about the plants in our local area? Join me on a walk through the woods and learn about the edible and medicinal plants that are found in our area. We will cover both the many plants that are available for use around us and the ways that we can ethically harvest and ensure sustainability. To end we will also harvest and prepare different plants for drying which can then be used in our Infusing Oils and Vinegars workshop or however you would like.

Come join us for our forest workshop series every Saturday starting July 3rd and ending August 21. This workshop series will focus on exploring how people can engage with and harvest from the forest in an ethical and sustainable manner. Topics will range from plant id, to making medicinals, to willow basketry. We encourage any and all to join us with one caveat being that anyone under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Learn share and discover some of the ways that we can engage with the forest and the many ways it can help to support us and our communities.
