Description

Take a walk around Sweetwater Farm with Herbalist Bob Linde and learn about the different uses of Florida's wild plants. So many of the plants that grow wild around us are not only edible, but with a little knowhow can be used to treat your health ailments. Enjoy learning about the edible and medicinal plants that grow wild in our area as Bob leads a leisurely walk around the farm. This is a hands on class and we will get to taste and sample the wild plants. Bob Linde is a Registered Herbalist and Acupuncture Physician who has studied edible and medicinal plants for much of his life. This event is free to the public, but donations to Sweetwater Farm are always welcome if you feel like you learned something. Sweetwater Organic Community Farm was established in 1995 as a nonprofit community-supported urban organic farm and environmental education center in Tampa, Florida. We are located on 6 acres of suburban property along the Sweetwater Creek in Tampa’s Town ‘n’ Country neighborhood, in Hillsborough County, Florida. We operate a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Membership program, Sweetwater Sunday Farmers’ Market and Music Series open to the public, educational field trip programs for visiting groups, farm tours, workshops, outdoor movies, seasonal events, volunteer opportunities and more! Through our hands-on programs, visitors of all ages discover the wonders of nature, explore ecological interconnections, practice appropriate land stewardship and master sustainable agriculture techniques.  Our farm provides the freshest possible organic vegetables and herbs for hundreds of Tampa Bay residents each year. At Sweetwater, community members come together to grow and enjoy fresh organic food, acquire sustainable living skills, support local agriculture, enjoy nature, make new friends and be a part of the community.
