Join Westford herbalist Amber Kennedy on a medicinal weed walk along the beautiful Misty Meadows trails in Westford, Vermont. These town trails are home to wide range of ecosystems and interesting plants to discover! We will explore the fields, woods and maybe even some aquatic plants by the brook. We will discover how to identify plants, notice what ecosystems they grow in, learn their latin and folk names, some simple botanical terminology and identification tips and tricks, discuss how herbalists harvest, prepare and use them for remedies and some interesting folklore and historical uses of some of them too!

Please plan to arrive a few minutes before class as we will start with an important intro on the safety considerations of identifying plants and some ethics and sustainability guidelines should you choose to use the information you learn to forage or wildcraft plants on your own property!

The landscape is ever changing over the season and it is so interesting and helpful to study plants in all their stages of growth so come to just one class or join us for the whole seasonal series!

Space is limited so sign up in advance please. Min of 5 students needed in order for class to run: https://www.bohemebotanika.com/events/ygpn741aa7g9p1u0a7bvnz34tmyiju-7352k-dcl57-zc7xj-r2rcr
