Your Medicinal Backyard
One of our MOST popular classes!
Oftentimes when a garden or yard gets a little overgrown, ambitious gardeners will pull up every stray botanical that 'looks' like a weed - wholesale! Whole mats of chickweed, clusters of purslane, groundcovers, sorrel, burdock, dandelions or clumps of plantain are discarded and hundreds of years of traditional and indigenous healing medicine is wasted.
This class is presented in a PowerPoint format, and introduces folks to the medicinal side of common weeds that can and do grow in almost everyone's yard. Students will learn the latin binomial name, the common name, common growing conditions, medicinal actions, and common illnesses that are benefitted from each herb.
About 40 common herbs/weeds are covered in the core class. Additional classes cover trees, spices and even Italian herbs/weeds. This class can be tailored to include any or all of the above listed herbs/weeds.
