Description

In this class, participants will blend and prepare tea from eight herbs readily available in New Orleans. Together, we will learn the beneficial properties of the herbs and learn safe foraging practices. Keely, a New Orleans native, came by environmental stewardship through garden therapy. Keely's childhood community garden was confirmed heavily contaminated with lead and other toxic elements. This led Keely, lead gardener, to research cost effective ways to remediate and generate soil using natural farming techniques. The increasing impact of geography and climate in New Orleans spurred Keely to work, educate, and help make small interventions to create big change.
