A delightful Earth Day Treat!
We’re in the midst of the season for tasty spring flowers, fresh spring greens, plant walks, and foraging adventures! It is a wonderful time to enjoy the rush of wild edibles and herbal botanicals now that they have made their appearance known!
If you want to make the leap from using dried store-bought herbs to fresh wild harvested plants, join us in the Botany & Wildcrafting Course – a captivating journey into wildcrafting and plant identification – and gain the confidence and skills you need to gather plants on your own!
Our Botany & Wildcrafting Course will give you the chance to start a close and careful relationship with plants around you by studying their common structures and patterns. This deeper dimension of study gives us a another way to speak the language within the plant world and also encourages us to get back outside to meet these plants where they grow.
With knowledge of just a few patterns and structures under your belt, finding herbs and edibles out in the world can foster a new sense of comprehension and delight. We encourage you to share these experiences with others and direct your focus towards gratitude for the myriad ways in which the Earth sustains us.
Here are some things we are loving about the Botany & Wildcrafting Short Course:
You’ll learn about the complexity of plant structures!
This develops our appreciation for the ways plants nourish, protect, and reproduce themselves, and encourages us to protect their habitats.

Take Plant Walks!
Plant walks will help you find and study plants in your habitat. It’ll get you out into nature and deepen your connection to the wild spaces near you (yes, even if you are in an urban setting!).

Making connections.
Through the lessons, we’re connecting the dots between related plants and their families. This reminds us of the interconnection of all species, and of the evolution and the ecosystems that sparked their development.

We’re learning an entire new language!
As we learn the plant patterns, we get a whole new language to decode the natural world around us. How neat is that?

Feel at home in nature!
Understanding this hidden language gives a sense of place and participation in the natural world, rather than as an observer or visitor to it.

Develop a new appreciation.
Understanding the properties and purpose of even the most common plants that are often classified as weeds, we begin to see the value and potential of all plants throughout the ecosystem as well as our role in stewarding them.
