HERB CAMP

Fields and Woodlands, Flowers and Gardens

July 26, 27, 28

Three very full days of plant Identification and foraging for medicinal plants from our local area. Learn to recognize the roadside plants like Gravel root, Butterfly weed, Mimosa, Blue Vervain, Catnip and Chicory.  Gather wild Lobelia, St. John’s wort, Yarrow and Monarda for medicine making.  Dig some roots of Teasel, Burdock, Mullein and Nettle. Behold the PawPaw patch, Cardinal flower lobelia, Horsetail and Balmony by the water’s edge.

Take home an Elderberry cutting, Lemon Balm, Mugwort and Nettles if you like.

Drink the fresh teas by the quart as we will each make out own garden brew in our own quart jar. If you have been wondering what the plants along the path are… what the flowers in the field are, what the uses of the weeds in your fields are; this class is for you!
