Description

Celebrate Earth day by getting outside and learning how to forage! In this workshop you will learn how to identify different wild edible and medicinal plants that grow in the spring. We will learn about spring ephemerals which are plants that only come for a short time and then they go back into the ground for the rest of the year! Trout lilies, violets, garlic mustard, dead head nettle, along with other plants like dandelions and plantain will be identified. Some plants will have a life cycle for the whole growing season and we will talk about how they will grow and their uses. Learn what mother earth has to offer for food, medicine, and more... Class will begin with opening Qi gong exercises to help us get grounded and connected to the earth! In person group is limited to 15 people. If people want to tune in virtually a zoom link can be provided. $25 donation through venmo @chiforhealing, paypal.me/chiforhealing or through the eventbrite link. We will also have bags and gloves available to pickup any trash that we may find in the woods.
