Let's welcome the autumnal equinox, the point where the day and night are of equal length, with a plant walk fundraiser at the Plainfield Rec Field Sat Sept 22nd 3-5pm. We will get to know (better) the plants that grow all around us and focus on a few abundant local "weeds" and the food, medicine, and lessons that they can provide. This plant walk will be part super basic plant identification, part storytelling session, and part herbal first aid/wellness class. We'll share simple recipes for making food and remedies to share with our community and loved ones, and discuss how plants support justice movements near and far. Please bring a mug to try our plant walk tea blend!
Please RSVP via email: dandelion778@yahoo.com. All ages and experience levels welcome. Event is sprinkle or shine (if it's really lashing down we'll postpone), we'll meet up in the Rec Field parking lot.
By donation $1-100 cash at the plant walk or via Paypal, no one turned away for lack of funds. This event is a fundraiser for the Sankofa Afrobotany class. If anyone would like to contribute to our collective donation w/o attending the plant walk, you can send $ via PayPal to paypal.me/dandelioness or send me a message.
